The IDF announced on Thursday evening that it had found the body of Yehudit Weiss, an Israeli civilian thought to have been taken hostage by Hamas on October 7.
The remains of Weiss, a resident of the southern kibbutz of Be’eri, were found near a structure adjacent to the Al-Shifa Hospital which serves as a military weapons cache, the IDF said.
Her body was found by the IDF’s 603rd Combat Engineering Battalion operating in Gaza as part of Operation Swords of Iron.
Weiss was battling cancer before her death at the hands of Hamas.
This is a developing story.
