A US-Israeli woman seized in the October 7 Hamas attack was killed on the same day and her body remains in the Gaza Strip, according to her kibbutz community.
Judith Weinstein Haggai, 70, was thought to be the oldest woman among the hostages still held in Gaza.
AFP reports that her community of Nir Oz said that Haggai was “murdered in the massacre” and her body remains in the Palestinian territory.
Thursday’s announcement by the kibbutz follows confirmation on December 23 that her husband, Gad Haggai, was also killed on October 7.
“The bodies of both are still in the custody of Hamas,” the community said, without elaborating.
