On Friday, the Israeli army announced that the bodies of three hostages held by Hamas in Jabalia, northern Gaza, had been found. What do we know about the identity of these three new bodies? The three individuals were killed on October 7 at the Mefalsim intersection near the border with Gaza, and Hamas had transferred their bodies to the strip, according to the military. The Israeli army stated: "The three victims are Hanan Yablonka, Michel Nisenbaum, and Orion Hernandez. Their families have been notified."
According to the Forum of Families of Hostages and Missing Persons, Orion Hernandez Rado (30), a French-Mexican tourist, attended the music festival with his partner Shani Louk. Louk's body was recovered from Gaza last week. The forum mentioned that Hanan Yablonka (42), a father of two from Tel Aviv, also attended the music festival with friends. Additionally, Israeli army spokesperson Admiral Daniel Hagari noted that Michel Nisenbaum (59), a Brazilian-Israeli citizen from Sderot, was killed while on his way to pick up his four-year-old granddaughter.
It is worth mentioning that there are still 121 hostages who were kidnapped on October 7 in Gaza.
