The IDF wrote in a statement that the IDF and ISA recovered the body of Youssef al-Ziyadne from a tunnel in the Rafah area on Tuesday and returned it to Israel. It noted that Youssef was abducted on October 7th and killed in captivity.
In addition, as part of the operation, findings were located related to Youssef’s son, Hamza al-Ziyadne, who was also abducted on October 7th, which raise serious concerns for his life.
Following an identification procedure carried out by the National Institute of Forensic Medicine and the Israel Police, the IDF Manpower Directorate’s Hostage team, which is responsible for accompanying the families of the hostages, notified their families and communities today.
“Our hearts hurt. We wanted them to return to their families alive, but unfortunately, they returned dead,” read a statement on behalf of the family, although the report on Hamza is not yet official.
Youssef and Hamza, residents of the Bedouin town of Rahat in the Negev Desert, were abducted alive on October 7th from Kibbutz Holit. The two were abducted together with Youssef’s young children, Aisha and Billal, who were released after 55 days in captivity as part of the November 2023 hostage deal.
Youssef’s family did not know what became of him until he appeared in footage published by the terror group.
