"Lieutenant Hadar Goldin fell in heroic combat during Operation Protective Edge"
"His body was abducted by Hamas, which refused to return him throughout this entire period."
The remains of Israeli soldier Hadar Goldin, abducted at age 23 during a 2014 Gaza ceasefire, were transferred to the Red Cross and later received by Israeli troops. Forensic testing confirmed the remains as Goldin's after they were found in a tunnel in Rafah. The remains were transported to the National Center for Forensic Medicine in Tel Aviv. Goldin is the 24th dead hostage returned since the October 10 ceasefire under the US-brokered deal that requires 28 bodies to be handed over. Four bodies remain in Gaza. Israeli authorities denied reports of a secret deal linking the handover to safe passage for militants.
