11-year wait for body

November 10, 2025

ISRAEL has received the remains of a hostage in Gaza that Hamas claims is the body of an Israeli soldier who was killed in 2014, whose body has been held in Gaza for the past 11 years.

Hamas, the Gaza-based militant group, said it found the body of Hadar Goldin in a tunnel in the city of Rafah, in southern Gaza, on Saturday.

He was killed on August 1, 2014 - two hours after a ceasefire took effect ending that year's war between Israel and Hamas.

His was the only body held in Gaza since before the latest war there, which has ended after two years.

The Red Cross transferred the body to the Israeli military within Gaza, and yesterday it was being brought to Israel and the national forensic institute in Tel Aviv for identification.
