The IDF recovered the bodies of 30-year-old Orion Hernandez Radoux, 42-year-old Hanan Yablonka and 59-year-old Michel Nisenbaum during a special joint operation between the IDF and the Israeli intelligence arm Shin Bet, the IDF announced Friday.
Yablonka and Hernandez were both at the Nova music festival—Hernandez, an Israeli-French citizen was the boyfriend of Shani Louk, another hostage whose body was recovered last week, who became a symbol of Hamas violence when a video of her unconscious in the back of a Hamas truck went viral immediately after the attack.
Nisenbaum, an Israeli-Brazilian citizen, was en route to pick up his 4-year-old granddaughter when he was killed and taken by Hamas, according to IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari.
