Tamir Nimrodi ‘murdered in Hamas captivity,’ family says after body identified

After his body was returned yesterday, Tamir Nimrodi’s family says he was “murdered in Hamas captivity.”

The fate of the soldier, who was abducted from his base near the Erez crossing, was the last among the captives to be unconfirmed until his body was identified this morning.

“After two years of excruciating uncertainty, we received the difficult news of the identification of our dear Tamir. Tamir was kidnapped cruelly from his base and murdered in Hamas captivity,” his family says, adding they will stand by other families until all bodies are returned to Israel.
