JERUSALEM — In a complex operation which took place in Khan Younis Wednesday, the IDF managed to recover the bodies of five hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza.
The five bodies recovered are: Ravid Katz (51) a resident of Nir Oz, Oren Goldin (33), a resident of Nir Yitzchak , Maya Goren (56) a resident of Nir Oz, Tomer Achimas (20) an IDF soldier who fell on Oct. 7th and whose body was abducted to Gaza, and Kiril Brodski (19) a soldier who fell on Oct. 7th.
Maya Goren (56) was the mythological kindergarten teacher of the kibbutz. Her husband Avner (56) was brutally murdered on Oct. 7th but Maya was initially thought to have been taken hostage. Last November, her children were informed that Maya had in fact died in captivity and her body was in Hamas hands. The children, Asif (25) Bar (23) Gal (21) and Dekel (18) sat shiva for their parents at the hotel where their kibbutz had been relocated. “We couldn’t sit at home, as we don’t have a home anymore,” Gal said bitterly.
