Israeli Bedouin hostage’s body found in Gaza tunnel
JERUSALEM − The body of Youssef Ziyadne, an Israeli Bedouin taken hostage by Hamas-led fighters on Oct. 7, 2023, has been found in a tunnel in Gaza, along with evidence suggesting his son may also have been killed, the Israeli military said on Wednesday.
It was not immediately clear how Youssef Ziyadne had been killed, but Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani said his death did not appear to have been recent.
“We are currently investigating the circumstances of his death and we are also investigating the findings regarding his son,” he told a briefing with reporters.
