After more than 420 days of praying and waiting and hoping, the IDF just confirmed that they positively identified the remains of Itai Svirsky, one of the hostages taken during the October 7 attack. Legal and forensic teams completed the identification process overnight after his body was returned to Israel.
The family has been notified of this heartbreaking development.
Svirsky was among those taken captive during the initial terror attack. Further details about arrangements will be released in accordance with the family's wishes.
