The Israeli military announced on Friday that it had recovered the body of a hostage and the remains of another, both of whom were taken captive during the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023.
The body of Ilan Weiss, 55, who was killed during the attack on Kibbutz Be'eri, was recovered in a 'covert operation'.

The military did not provide specific details about the operation.
