The family of Gaza hostage Tal Chaimi and Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak where he lived announce in a joint statement that authorities have told the family that he was murdered on October 7.
His body is believed to be held by terrorists in the Strip.
Chaimi, 41, married to Ella and father to 9-year-old twins and a six-year-old, was a third-generation member of Nir Yitzhak, and was part of the kibbutz’s rapid response team.
He went out that morning when it appeared that terrorists were infiltrating the kibbutz.
His mother Esti succumbed to cancer three months ago.
