Hostage survivor Emily Damari wrote on her Instagram account that "it's official, Izz al-Din Haddad has been eliminated!!!!!! Thank you to all the security forces and those working on this. Shabbat Shalom to all the people of Israel, a very important closure for many people. He murdered my friends and many other dear people, he planned my abduction and he also held me in Hamas tunnels. With God's help, we will reach every one of these scum terrorists."
