IDF rescue bodies of additional three hostages including Shani Louk’s boyfriend
Israeli intelligence say Hanan Yablonka, Michel Nisenbaum and Orion Hernandez were murdered on October 7th and taken into northern Gaza
The IDF has retrieved the bodies of three more hostages.
The bodies of Israelis Hanan Yablonka, 42 and Michel Nisenbaum, 59 and Mexican tourist Orión Hernández Radoux, 30 were rescued overnight during a joint IDF and ISA operation.
According to IDF intelligence, the three were abducted from the Mefalsim Intersection to Gaza by Hamas terrorists and during the October 7th massacre.
Hernandez was the boyfriend of Shani Louk, whose body was dragged through Gaza on a pickup truck with terrorists celebrating her kidnapping.
The overnight rescue operation took place in Jabaliya and the miltary says that intense combat took part during the beginning of the operation.
Following an identification procedure carried out by medical officials at the Israeli National Forensic Institute and the Israel police, IDF representatives notified their families today. The IDF and ISA send their heartfelt condolences to the families.
The bodies of Shani Louk, Amit Buskila and Itzhak Gelerenter were laid to rest on Sunday, seven months after they were killed.
