The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) successfully recovered the body of Elad Katzir, a 47-year-old Israeli farmer from Kibbutz Nir Oz, who was taken hostage and subsequently murdered by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) group during the October 7 Massacre. Katzir was abducted along with his mother, Hanna Katzir, during the attack on southern Israeli communities. His father, Rami Katzir, was murdered on the same day. The operation to retrieve Katzir's body was conducted overnight in the Khan Younis area of the southern Gaza Strip by the IDF's 'Egoz' Unit. According to IDF intelligence, Katzir was murdered in captivity by the PIJ in mid-January, a fact confirmed by multiple sources including Katzir's sister, Carmit Palty Katzir, who lamented the loss of her brother on social media. The IDF estimates that Katzir was killed by his captors shortly after the PIJ published a second video showing him in captivity. His body was buried in the Khan Younis refugee camp at a site used by the militants.
