The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

Col. Asaf Hamami, 41, the commander of the Gaza Division’s Southern Brigade, is recognized as a "fallen soldier held by a terror group," the IDF announces. Hamami was from Kiryat Ono.

In recent days, the IDF has been confirming the deaths of several hostages held by Hamas, due to new intelligence and findings obtained by troops.

Hamami is the most senior officer to have been taken hostage by Hamas.

Another three colonels were killed on October 7 but were not taken: Col. Jonathan Steinberg, 42, the commander of the Nahal Brigade; Col. Roi Levy, 44, the commander of the Multidomain Unit, also known as the “Ghost” Unit; and Col. (res.) Lion Bar, 53, a retired senior officer in the Judea and Samaria Division.

The death of Hamami brought the toll of fallen IDF soldiers since the outbreak of the war on October 7 to 396.

Family of Ron Binyamin, missing since Oct. 7, informed he is being held hostage in Gaza

[IsraelTimes] The family of Ron Binyamin, who has been missing since the October 7 Hamas assault, say they have been officially informed that he was taken hostage in Gaza.

Binyamin, 53, from Rehovot, was on a bicycle ride with friends near Kibbutz Be’eri when the assault started. He tried to return home but lost contact with his family. His car was later found riddled with bullets.

His brother Shuki told Ynet the army had previously told the family to prepare for the possibility that his fate may never be known.

Several people remain unaccounted for after the Hamas assault, with no evidence of them being taken hostage and no remains found. Some bodies from the massacre have been almost impossible to identify due to the damage suffered.
