Israeli-American hostage Omer Neutra is dead. The Israeli military reported Monday morning that the 21-year-old tank platoon commander died nearly 14 months ago, stating that “we can confirm, based on intelligence, that he was killed in battle on Oct. 7 [2023] and his body has been held hostage in Gaza since.”
“May his memory be a blessing,” the Israel Defense Forces added of Neutra.
The terrorist organization Hamas, which killed 1,200 in the Oct. 7 attacks in southern Israel, rules the adjacent Gaza Strip where Hamas took Neutra’s body.
