Kibbutz Nirim announces hostage Nadav Popplewell, 51, was killed while in Hamas captivity.
His body remains in Gaza.
The announcement is based on new intelligence received by Israel, according to media reports.
The British-Israeli Popplewell was taken captive with his mother, Channah Peri, 79, on October 7 from their home in Nirim by Hamas terrorists who stormed the community. Peri was released on November 24 as part of a temporary ceasefire deal.
Channah and Nadav were together throughout her captivity in a tunnel under Gaza. Popplewell was seen in a video issued by Hamas weeks ago in a 10-second clip.
