IDF representatives this morning updated the family of hostage Shlomo Mantzur, 85, that he was killed during the October 7, 2023, onslaught, the military says.
The military says Mantzur was murdered during the October 7 onslaught and his body taken by Hamas terrorists to Gaza, where it remains held. It is unclear if he was murdered in Kibbutz Kissufim, en route to Gaza, or in the Strip itself that day.
His death was declared by a panel of health experts and members of the rabbinate, following intelligence the IDF says it obtained in recent months.
Of the 76 remaining hostages in the Gaza Strip, the IDF has confirmed the deaths of 36.
