Israel found the remains of another victim of the massacre by Hamas terrorists at the Nova festival

Gunmen from the Palestinian movement Hamas killed 1,200 people and dragged 253 into the Gaza Strip in an attack on the Israeli border last October 7.

Twenty-three-year-old Eljakim Šlomo Libman was among the victims of the brutal October attack, his family confirmed to The Jerusalem Post (JP). For a long time, she believed that she would see her son – that he belonged to the people brought to Gaza by terrorists.

However, his remains have now been identified in a common grave, the Israeli army said. And this on the basis of a “thorough comprehensive investigation” led by the armed forces, the police and the National Institute of Forensic Medicine, writes the BBC.

Eljakim Libman was buried at the same time as another victim of the Nova festival massacre near Kibbutz Reim. “It is not yet clear how his body got to the grave,” JP reported.

Libman worked at the festival as a member of security.

At this festival, Hamas extremists massacred 360 people and took several dozen hostages.

Shortly after the attack, Libman’s father wrote on Facebook that his son stayed at the scene and nursed the wounded for hours. He was last seen trying to help two seriously injured women.

According to Israel, Hamas is still holding 129 hostages in the Gaza Strip, at least 35 of whom are dead. In retaliation for the October 7 attacks, the Israeli military is waging a war in the Gaza Strip that has killed more than 34,650 people and injured tens of thousands more, according to Palestinian authorities. This data cannot be verified.

Basic infrastructure in this Palestinian territory is in ruins as a result of the Israeli offensive, and people are living in catastrophic conditions, according to humanitarian organizations and the United Nations.
