Hostages were taken by the Palestinian terrorist group during a ‘music festival for peace’ in Israel on October 7. Despite attempts to escape, they were kidnapped and ultimately met a tragic fate at the hands of their captors.
Vice Admiral Daniel Hagari of the Israeli army said the prisoners were killed near a horror tunnel just before a rescue operation could take place.
Their bodies were found beneath the town of Rafah and later taken to the Israeli border, where police and military rabbinical teams confirmed their identities.
The IDF was able to identify five more victims in addition to Goldberg-Polin: Ori Danino, 25, Eden Yerushalmi, 24, Almog Sarusi, 27, Alexander Lobanov, 33, and Carmel Gat, 40.
