In a statement, the IDF and Israel Security Agency ( ISA, or” Shin Bet”, or” Shabak” ) said:
The body of the victims Hanan Yablonka, Michel Nisenbaum, and Orion Hernandez were rescued immediately during a combined Army and ISA activity.
The victims were killed during the October 7th Massacre, according to authenticated information we have access to, and Hamas terrorists have taken them from Gaza’s Mefalsim Intersection.
Based on accurate knowledge that the IDF Intelligence Directorate’s Headquarters for the Hostages and Missing Persons has gathered and analyzed over the past few days in cooperation with the ISA, the bodies of the hostages were rescued immediately during a joint Army and ISA function in Jabaliya. At the beginning of the procedure, severe fight was carried out in the region.  ,
Army members notified their people immediately following a screening process conducted by medical personnel from the Israeli National Forensic Institute and the Israeli police. The people are offered their sincere apologies by the IDF and ISA.
The IDF Spokesperson urges the people to abstain from spreading fabricated and untrue information and to pay attention to standard announcements.
Even at this point, the IDF and ISA will use all available administrative and intelligence resources to achieve the highest national goal of releasing all hostages.
The Times of Israel added:
Radoux, a Latino- French nationwide, was the partner of Shani Louk, one of the four hostages whose bodies were found in Jabaliya last month. When the Supernova music festival was attacked by Hamas terrorists, Hernández Radoux and Yablonka, along with Louk and two more hostage-free recovered last week, were present.
They had fled to the Mefalsim neighborhood where the terrorists had taken them.
Nisenbaum, from Sderot, was also kidnapped from the Mefalsim area with the other hostages. He had planned to drive to the IDF’s Gaza Division base near Re’im to pick up his granddaughter who had been staying with his non-commissioned officer son-in-law, but he never made it.
A Palestinian terrorist infamously called his parents on October 7 while using the phone of a murdered Jewish woman to claim that he had murdered ten Jews as part of the Hamas terror attack in Mefalsim.
The number of Israeli hostages still held in Gaza is reduced by 125 using the official count of hostages provided by Israeli government officials. At least 60 of those hostages are reportedly still alive.
Israel has pledged to continue conducting its military exercises in Gaza to demolish Hamas and free the hostages.
