IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir updated the family of Lt. Hadar Goldin on the details currently known to the military, after Hamas told Al Jazeera earlier that it had located the remains of the slain hostage soldier.

“The chief of staff reiterated his personal and the IDF’s commitment to bringing back Hadar and all the fallen hostages and emphasized the importance of restraint at these sensitive moments, until his arrival and the completion of the necessary checks and verification,” the military says.
