The bodies of Judy Weinstein and Gadi Haggai were recovered in a covert IDF operation in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza Strip. Initial details revealed that both were held by Al-Mujahideen, the same organization that kidnapped and murdered Shiri Bibas and her children Kfir and Ariel. The IDF spokesperson announced that the operation was made possible through precise Shin Bet intelligence, involving Southern Command, Military Intelligence and special forces.
