“The effort to return all hostages continues without interruption and will not cease until every last hostage is brought home.”
The body of an Israeli hostage returned from Gaza on Thursday night has been officially identified as Meni Godard, 73, who was abducted and murdered by Hamas terrorists on October 7 during the attack on Kibbutz Be’eri. His wife, Ayelet, was also killed during the assault. The couple is survived by four children and six grandchildren.
The body was transferred to Israeli authorities via the Red Cross, with Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad coordinating the handover to IDF forces and the Shin Bet.
