Families of three ‘Israeli’ captives announce return of remains

Three of the four bodies of ‘Israeli’ captives in Gaza returned by Hamas late Tuesday have been identified, their families said on Wednesday following forensic confirmation of their identities.

"It is with immense sadness and pain that we announce the return of the body of our beloved Ouriel Baruch from the Gaza Strip, after two long years of prayer, hope, and faith," said the family of the 35-year-old.

The relatives of Tamir Nimrodi and Eitan Levy also announced their return to ‘Israel’.

Eitan Levy, a 53-year-old taxi driver, was killed at Kibbutz Beeri on the morning of Oct. 7.

Tamir Nimrodi, an 18-year-old soldier, was captured at a military base on the Gaza border.
