Israel watched and rejoiced as the final living hostages held by Hamas in Gaza were released and returned on October 13 to Israel, where they and their families could begin their journeys of healing and rehabilitation together.
But of the 28 deceased hostages whose bodies were still held by Hamas when the Gaza ceasefire took effect, 11 families still wait for closure as their loved ones’ bodies remain in the Gaza Strip, leaving them unable to bury their fathers, sons and siblings.
On October 18, the sister of Lt. Hadar Goldin, who was killed in 2014 and whose body has been held by Hamas ever since, said the fight for the return of the bodies was the “last and hardest,” and called on the public not to abandon the families.
