More than 11 years after Lt. Hadar Goldin’s murder and kidnapping in 2014 during Operation Protective Edge, his body has finally been returned home to Israel, where he will receive a proper burial this morning.

The decision by the Hamas terrorist organization to finally announce the return of the remains of slain Lieutenant Hadar Goldin came after Israel acquired a crucial piece of “Golden Information” regarding his exact location.

This intelligence success, achieved through intensive fieldwork and long-term surveillance, made it clear to Hamas that they could no longer conceal the whereabouts of the fallen soldier’s body, which had been held for 11 years.
