The Israeli military has received the body of Lt Hadar Goldin, a soldier killed in an ambush by Hamas in 2014 in Gaza. The body was handed over as part of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. Lt Goldin was 23 when he died and was among a group of Israeli soldiers patrolling an agricultural area near Rafah when they were attacked. The Israeli military determined that Lt Goldin was killed along with two other soldiers, and his body was dragged into an underground tunnel by Hamas fighters. The handover is part of a larger agreement that includes the release of Palestinian prisoners and the return of other Israeli hostages. Israeli leaders have praised the efforts to bring Lt Goldin home, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying 'we didn't give up' on bringing him home.

Israel has received the remains of Lt. Hadar Goldin, an Israeli soldier killed in Gaza in 2014, after Hamas found his body in a tunnel in Rafah. The return is seen as a significant development in the U.S.-brokered truce between Israel and Hamas, which has been faltering. Goldin's family had campaigned for his return, and his case has become a national symbol in Israel. The truce has led to the release of 23 hostages, with Israel releasing the remains of 15 Palestinians for each Israeli hostage returned. The conflict between Israel and Hamas began with a Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, resulting in 1,200 deaths and 251 kidnappings. The war has caused significant casualties on both sides, with Gaza's Hamas-run Health Ministry reporting 69,176 Palestinians killed.

The remains of Hadar Goldin, an Israeli soldier killed in Gaza in 2014, have been returned to Israel after 11 years. The return is seen as a significant development in the US-brokered truce between Israel and Hamas. Goldin's family had been campaigning for his body to be returned, and his parents criticized the Israeli government for not doing enough to bring him home. The return of Goldin's remains is part of a larger exchange, with Israel releasing the remains of 15 Palestinians for every hostage returned. Currently, four hostages from the recent conflict remain in Gaza, and Israel is criticizing the slow pace of their return. The situation in Gaza remains fragile, with Turkey working to ensure the safe passage of civilians trapped in tunnels.
