The remains, found during infrastructure work at the Sha'ar HaNegev Junction, have been transferred to the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Tel Aviv for identification.
Earlier this month, the IDF announced that the remains of Dolev Yehud were found in Kibbutz Nir Oz. Yehud, 35 at the time of his death, was believed to have been abducted into Gaza on October 7. However, the army reported that he was killed during the massacre, and his body remained in the kibbutz area for almost eight months.
His sister, Arbel Yehud, was kidnapped in the Hamas terror attack and is still held captive in Gaza. The United Hatzalah emergency service, where Yehud volunteered as a medic, mourned his loss after his body was found, stating that during the terror attack, he left his home in the kibbutz to save lives and treat the wounded.
