Asaf Hamami, of blessed memory, Capt. Omer Maxim Neutra, of blessed memory, and Staff Sgt. Oz Daniel, of blessed memory, that their loved ones had been returned to Israel and that their identification had been completed.
The Government of Israel shares in the deep sorrow of the Hamami, Neutra and Daniel families, and all the families of the deceased hostages.
The Government and the entire establishment for the missing and the captives of the State of Israel are determined, committed, and working tirelessly to return all of our deceased hostages for proper burial in their country.
The Hamas terrorist organization is required to uphold its commitments to the mediators and return them as part of the implementation of the agreement. We will not compromise on this and will spare no effort until we return all of the hostages, every last one of them.
