Hamas returns body it says is Israeli soldier killed in 2014

Published



Hamas returned on Sunday what it said was the body of another Israeli hostage the terrorist group has held captive in Gaza, appearing to mark a positive development for the fragile Gaza ceasefire. 

Hadar Goldin, 23, was an Israeli soldier who was killed in 2014 and the only hostage who was taken captive before Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack. His family has spent the past 11 years campaigning for the body’s return, with Goldin’s remains being among the 28 deceased hostages ordered to be handed over to Israel under the terms of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas that President Donald Trump brokered last month.
