Israeli prime minister’s office confirms remains of soldier Hadar Goldin identified
The Israeli prime minister’s office confirms that the remains received by Israel from Hamas are those of the Israeli soldier Hadar Goldin following the completion of an identification process.
In a post on X, Shlomo Karhi, Israel’s communication minister, said Goldin’s return was the “closing of the circle”, as he had been captured back in 2014.
Who are the captives whose bodies remain in Gaza?
Since the US-brokered ceasefire in Gaza began on October 10, Hamas has returned the remains of 24 captives held for the past two years.
But the process of returning the bodies of the four remaining captives, as called for under the truce deal, is progressing slowly, with Hamas searching for those left in coordination with the Red Cross under the millions of tonnes of rubble left by Israel’s two-year assault.
The four remaining captives are:
- Meny Godard, 73
- Ran Gvili, 24
- Dror Or, 52
- Sudthisak Rinthalak
Rinthalak was an agricultural worker from Thailand who had been employed at Kibbutz Be’eri. According to media reports, Rinthalak was divorced and had been working in Israel since 2017. A total of 31 workers from Thailand were taken on October 7, the largest group of foreigners to be held in captivity. Most of them were released in the first and second ceasefires. The Thai Foreign Ministry has said that, in addition to the captives, 46 Thais have been killed during the war.
Israeli army claims it has destroyed four tunnels in Gaza
The Israeli army has said that over the last month, it has destroyed four underground tunnels behind the yellow line where its troops have been operating, in accordance with the phased ceasefire agreement that the US brokered and that saw Israel’s withdrawal from parts of Gaza.
An army statement said the tunnels were destroyed in the eastern Khan Younis area, where Israel has been repeatedly shelling since the ceasefire and where it has been carrying out house demolitions.
Hundreds of tunnels are believed to run beneath Gaza, developed partially by Hamas for military purposes but also previously used to import goods into the besieged territory.
