A young Israeli woman who vanished following Hamas\u2019 Oct. 7 attack has been found dead, reports say.<\/p>\n
The body of Shani Gabay, 26, was discovered Wednesday, weeks after she went missing. Gabay worked at the music festival in Kibbutz Re\u2019im that was the target of the initial terrorist massacre last month.<\/p>\n
Yokneam Mayor Simon Alfasi said, \u2018Our Shani is gone. Our hearts are broken into pieces. We are all crying and refuse to believe, how much we waited for a different ending,\u2019 according to The Jerusalem Post.<\/p>\n
\u2018Forty-seven days of hope came to an end with receiving the bitter news this morning about the murder of Shani on October 7,\u2019 Alfasi added.<\/p>\n
He continued, \u2018My heart goes out to my dear parents Jacob and Michal, her brother Aviel and her sister Nitzan \u2013 who for seven weeks turned every stone and went everywhere in Israel and the world to find Shani, and fought and cried out to bring her home. We all hug the family and stand by their side. May her memory be a blessing.\u2019<\/p>\n
The Times of Israel reported that Gabay was presumed to be a hostage before today\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n
More than 300 Israeli civilians were killed in the music festival mass shooting that launched the ongoing conflict between Israeli Defense Forces and Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.<\/p>\n
Gabay\u2019s funeral is scheduled for Thursday in Yokneam. The family has requested privacy during their period of mourning.<\/p>\n
Israel and Hamas reached a temporary cease-fire deal Wednesday that includes the release of Israeli hostages being held in the Gaza Strip.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The first of 50 hostages \u2013 including three Americans \u2013 are expected to be released from captivity in Gaza starting at 10 a.m. local time Thursday. The hostages are expected to be released in groups of 10-12 over the course of four days, if the cease-fire holds.<\/p>\n
Fox News correspondent Jeff Paul reports that in previous releases, the hostages first went through a border crossing in the city of Rafah, at the southern end of the Gaza Strip, into Egypt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
