IDF representatives on Tuesday officially informed the family of Bilha Yinon, who has been missing since October 7, that she is no longer alive. Yinon, a resident of Netiv HaAsara, was the last person designated as missing since October 7. "Since the start of the war, the IDF and specifically the Manpower Directorate, have conducted an extensive investigative effort via different teams in various fields to determine Yinon’s fate. As part of this effort, evidence was discovered in the area of Yinon's house that, after complex testing, enabled the verification of her identity," the IDF said in a statement issued Tuesday evening. A Ministry of Health committee of experts, consisting of representatives from the IDF investigative team, the National Institute of Forensic Medicine, the Israel Police and in cooperation with the Chief Rabbi of Israel Yitzhak Yosef, determined based on a combination of findings that Bilha Yinon was murdered on October 7.
