Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak announces that the body of hostage Oren Goldin has been recovered from Gaza in a military operation.
Earlier, Kibbutz Nir Oz announced that the body of Maya Goren had also been recovered.
Goldin was a member of Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak’s civilian defense team and was killed on the morning of October 7.
For more than a month, Goldin was considered missing, and he was thought to be held captive in Gaza. Then on November 9, his family was informed that his death had been confirmed.
“For almost 10 months, we have called and wished for the return of his body to Israel so that he could be buried in the home he loved so much,” the kibbutz says.
He is survived by his wife, Oshrit Masala, and their two-year-old twins, Aviv and Ilay, as well as his parents Adi and Yair and siblings Rani and Shai.
Goldin, a native of the kibbutz, ran its mechanic shop.
