The Bat Yam municipality announces that one of its residents being held in Gaza was murdered.
Eitan Levy was believed to have been alive after he was taken hostage on October 7. However, the municipality says it was informed last night by the IDF that Levy is no longer alive.
The 53-year-old was a taxi driver, ferrying a client from central Israel to Kibbutz Be’eri on the Gaza border when the Hamas onslaught began.
The municipality did not share how and when Levy was murdered.
