The Red Thingy transferred the body of a presumed hostage from Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...to Israeli security forces in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...
on Friday night.
The casket was then brought into Israeli territory and taken to the Abu Kabir forensic institute in Tel Aviv for identification.
Hamas said earlier Friday that it would return a deceased hostage whose remains were discovered in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.
The Hamas statement came after its smaller ally, Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
, announced it would hand over the body of a hostage. The remains were ostensibly first held by PIJ before being transferred to Hamas for the handover to the Red Thingy.
Until Friday, there were six deceased hostages still being held in Gaza.
They include Lt. Hadar Goldin, who was killed fighting in the 2014 Gaza war, and five hostages whose bodies were snatched to Gaza after they were murdered on October 7, 2023, when thousands of Hamas-led Death Eaters stormed southern Israel to kill some 1,200 people and take 251 hostages.
The five October 7 hostages are Meny Godard, 73, who was murdered in Kibbutz Be’eri by Paleostinian Islamic Jihad Death Eaters alongside his wife, Ayelet; Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, 24, who was killed battling Hamas Death Eaters in Kibbutz Alumim; Dror Or, 48, who was murdered by Hamas Death Eaters at his home in Kibbutz Be’eri; Sudthisak Rinthalak, 43, who was murdered at Be’eri, where he was an agricultural worker; and Lior Rudaeff, 61, who was killed near his home in Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak while aiding the local rapid response team in its battle against Hamas terrorists.
As part of the October 9 ceasefire with Israel, Hamas has released the last 20 living hostages and the remains of 22 deceased hostages.
The terror group has also returned remains that turned out not to belong to any hostage, and in one case, remains of a deceased hostage whose remains had already been partially retrieved by the IDF in December 2023.
Body of hostage returned from Gaza identified as Lior Rudaeff
[IsrelTimes] Military representative notified the family of Lior Rudaeff that his body was returned to Israel by Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad last night, following the completion of identification efforts by forensic experts.
Rudaeff, 61, the deputy security coordinator at Kibbutz Nir Oz and a member of its civil defense squad, was killed while battling Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists in the community on the morning of October 7, 2023, and his body was abducted to Gaza by the Hamas-allied terror group.
Like other civil defense squad members who were killed while fighting Hamas-led terrorists on October 7, Rudaeff was posthumously promoted to the rank of warrant officer in reserves.
Rudaeff is survived by his wife, Yaffa, his four children, Noam, Nadav, Bar and Ben, several grandchildren, his father, Giora, and his siblings Idit and Doron.
