The Israeli army announced on Sunday, June 22, after having brought the bodies of three hostages that were retained in the Gaza Strip from the unprecedented attack against the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas in Israel in October 2023.
“The Shin commitment (Israeli internal intelligence, editor’s note) and Tsahal (Israeli army, editor’s note) have repatriated from Gaza the bodies of the Hostages of Rephone Keidar, Yonatan Samerano and the boss sergeant Shai Levinson,” said the army, who explained that the operation had taken place the day before, on Saturday and declaring that these people were already dead.
“Our Yonati was saved in a heroic operation led by the brave soldiers of Tsahal and Shin Bet,” Kobi Sameran wrote in a message posted on Instagram.
Of the 251 people kidnapped on October 7, 2023, 49 are still preserved in Gaza, at least 27 of which died, according to Israeli authorities.
