Hostage survivor Eli-Ya Cohen, who was kidnapped from the security room in Re'im on Route 232, addressed the elimination of terrorist Hassan Mahmoud Hassan Hussein, who commanded the murder at the security room and took part in kidnapping Israeli civilians to the Gaza Strip. "This is the terrorist who was responsible for my kidnapping. They informed me about the elimination in the morning. We celebrated," Cohen said at an event in Jerusalem with Mayor Moshe Lion. Cohen said that the same terrorist murdered the nephew and the nephew's partner of his wife Ziv Abud, who was with him at the Nova music festival and survived.
