Israel says body of Lior Rudaeff has been returned from Gaza
The body of Lior Rudaeff, an Israeli citizen who had been missing since entering Gaza last month, has been returned to Israel. The Israeli government confirmed that the body was handed over by Palestinian authorities through the Red Cross at the Erez border crossing.
Rudaeff, a 31-year-old man from southern Israel, was reported missing after crossing into Gaza for unknown reasons on October 7. The circumstances of his entry into the Palestinian territory remain unclear, and Israeli officials have not provided details on how Rudaeff ended up in Gaza.
Both Israeli and Palestinian authorities have been tight-lipped about the case, with no official statements released regarding the cause of Rudaeff’s death or the circumstances leading to the return of his body. Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett expressed his condolences to the Rudaeff family, emphasizing the government’s commitment to bringing its citizens home, even in difficult situations.
On the Palestinian side, officials have yet to comment on the incident, leading to speculation about the motives behind Rudaeff’s death and the delay in returning his body. Some Israeli media outlets have suggested that Rudaeff may have entered Gaza voluntarily, while others have raised concerns about the risks Israeli citizens face in the volatile region.
The return of Lior Rudaeff’s body has brought some closure to his family and friends, yet many questions remain unanswered about the circumstances surrounding his death in Gaza.
