New details emerge around the recovery of Oron Shaul’s body in January 2025. This operation is more spy thriller than reality—even with a surprise twist at the end.
The movie opens on Gaza. Operation Protective Edge, 2014: IDF soldier Oron Shaul is killed, his body captured by Hamas—fade to black.
Ten years later.
An Israeli soldier finds a computer during a routine operation. It says there’s someone who knows where Oron is—and he’s already in Israeli custody. The man is interrogated and tells investigators that the body was held by former Hamas commander Ibrahim Hilo. He also says Oron’s body is being kept in a freezer beneath Hilo’s home. IDF forces had already been there, but they didn’t check the freezer.
