Israeli Military Recovers Bodies of Two Hostages Taken in Oct. 7 Attack

Israeli security forces in the southern Gaza Strip recovered the bodies of two Israeli Americans who were killed in the Hamas-led October 2023 attack on Israel, the Israeli military said in a statement on Thursday.

Judi Weinstein-Haggai and Gad Haggai were in their 70s when they were killed by members of a small Palestinian militant group, according to the Israeli military. Before Thursday’s operation, theirs were among the remaining four bodies of dual Israeli American citizens still in the Gaza Strip.
