Terrorists from Gaza abducted as many as 240 people from Israel during the Oct. 7 massacres, when they murdered 1,200 and wounded thousands more.
The current list has been updated on 6/23/25, noting who has been released, who is still presumed in Gaza, and who has tragically died there. Please come back periodically to Chabad.org/Hostages to check for updates.
Join us in praying to G‑d that all the hostages be returned from captivity safely and speedily. Amen!
I found a news article that Yair ben Alfred (Yaakov)'s body has been recovered by the IDF from Khan Younis.
yes, that happened almost a month ago.
