Guy Iluz, the 26-year-old Israeli who was taken hostage into Gaza on October 7, is no longer alive, his high school announces.
No details are provided regarding how he died and when.
Iluz was attending the Re’im musical festival when the terror onslaught began.
“For many weeks we hoped and prayed for Guy’s return, but today we were informed that he will not return again,” Iluz’s Raanana high school writes in a Facebook post.
He is the sixth graduate of the high school killed since October 7.
Iluz, a soundman for Israeli musicians Matti Caspi, Shalom Hanoch and others, attempted to flee the terrorists in his white jeep.
Friends in a car behind him were able to escape, but the terrorists shot at Guy’s car, killing his four passengers.
He was able to get out of the car and climb a tree, which is where he was when he last spoke with his family.
