In an overnight operation in Khan Yunis, Israel's military successfully recovered the body of Elad Katzir, who was abducted from Kibbutz Nir Oz during Hamas attacks in October. Identified by medical officials, Katzir's remains were located with precise intelligence, confirming his murder by the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization. His mother was previously released in November, but his father was murdered during the abduction. The operation comes after a video released by Islamic Jihad in January purported to show Katzir in captivity, pleading for his release. Israel vows to continue efforts to bring abducted citizens home.
