The bodies of Bedouin father and son, Youssef and Hamza Ziyadne, were discovered in a tunnel in Gaza. Youssef was abducted on October 7, along with three of his children, during Hamas’s brutal attack on Israel. While two of his children were released after over 50 days in captivity, Youssef and Hamza remained missing until their tragic discovery.
This heartbreaking case highlights the indiscriminate nature of Hamas’s actions on October 7, targeting individuals regardless of religion, ethnicity, or gender.
Youssef leaves behind two wives and 19 children. May his memory be a blessing, and may the families find comfort during this devastating time.
We continue to Daven for the safe return of all remaining hostages to their loved ones.
Yesterday, the IDF and ISA located and recovered the body of the hostage Youssef Ziyadne from an underground tunnel in the area of Rafah in Gaza, and returned his body to Israel.
