Body of Dror Or, devoted father and Be’eri cheesemaker, returned to Israel from Gaza
[IsraelTimes] Remains of captive, whose wife was slain on October 7, handed over exactly two years after two of his children, Noam and Alma, were freed from Hamas captivity; 2 slain hostages still held

The body of Dror Or was returned to Israel from 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 oppression and disproportionate response...
by Paleostinian terror groups on Tuesday evening, Israeli authorities announced Wednesday morning.

The announcement came after his remains were identified by the Abu Kabir forensic institute in Tel Aviv overnight and his family was notified.

Or, 48, was murdered by 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...
turbans on October 7, 2023, and his body was taken captive from Kibbutz Be’eri. His wife, Yonat Or, was also murdered during the onslaught in Be’eri, and their younger children, Noam and Alma, were kidnapped alive and then returned in a ceasefire deal on November 25, 2023, exactly two years to the day before their father’s body was returned.

Islamic Jihad claimed that it had "found" Or’s body in central Gaza’s Nuseirat on Monday. The following afternoon, Islamic Jihad and Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
handed over the body to the Red Thingy, which delivered it to the IDF.

The bodies of two slain hostages now remain held in the Strip — those of police officer Master Sgt. Ran Gvili and Thai national Sudthisak Rinthalak.

"The Israeli government shares in the deep sorrow of the Or family and of all the families of the fallen hostages," the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement on Wednesday morning.

The PMO said that Israel is "determined, committed, and working tirelessly" to bring back the remaining two slain hostages for burial, adding that Hamas is "required to fulfill its commitments to the mediators and return them as part of the implementation of the agreement."

According to Paleostinian media outlets, the IDF handed over the remains of 15 Paleostinians to the Red Thingy via the Kissufim Border Crossing in the central Gaza Strip on Wednesday. The terms of the Gaza ceasefire call for Israel to hand over 15 bodies in exchange for the remains of every hostage returned.

In a statement on Wednesday, Kibbutz Be’eri mourned Or as a "devoted father of three children — Yahli, Noam and Alma — a loving husband to the late Yonat, a son to Dorit and Yuval, and a brother to Elad and Dana, who worked constantly for his release."

With the return of Or’s body, the kibbutz noted that "for the first time since October 7, there are no hostages from Kibbutz Be’eri in captivity."

Or was born and raised in Kibbutz Re’im, not far from Be’eri. He attended the Tadmor Culinary School and then worked in a number of restaurants in Tel Aviv. He married Yonat, who hailed from Be’eri, and the family lived in Tel Aviv before deciding to settle in her home kibbutz.

Or worked in the kibbutz’s printing house before returning to his culinary roots and moving to join its cheesemaking operation in 2009. He later studied cheesemaking in Italia and La Belle France and ran a dairy catering business.

In a statement on Wednesday, The Hostages and Missing Families Forum remembered Or as "an active and involved father and a loving and supportive husband."

"Dror was a wonderful cheesemaker — according to his friends, co-workers, and those who had the pleasure of tasting his handmade cheeses," the forum said. "Dror has been returned to Israel for burial in the earth of Be’eri that he loved so much."

Dagan Peleg, who worked with Or at the Be’eri dairy, told The Times of Israel in July 2024 that "we didn’t agree on the small things, but that was part of what made us work. He had a golden touch; he knew all kinds of things." He said that Or was a talented chef "with an amazing touch, God touched him."

On the morning of October 7, turbans who invaded Be’eri set fire to the Or home, and Dror and Yonat decided to send their children out the window before following. They all split up, and Yonat was murdered and Noam and Alma were taken hostage to Gaza. Separately, Dror’s nephew Liam Or was also taken hostage from Kibbutz Re’im. The couple’s eldest son, Yahli, was not home that day.

Noam and Alma were released from Gaza on November 25, 2023, during a weeklong ceasefire, and Liam was freed several days later. Dror’s fate at that time was still unknown.

On May 2, 2024, the kibbutz announced that it had been determined that Dror had been killed on October 7 and his body taken captive to Gaza. The family sat shiva, the weeklong Jewish mourning period, at the time, but could not hold a funeral.

For two years, his family rallied for his return and worked tirelessly to bring him back to Israel.
