The public was informed on Sunday that the remains of Warrant Officer Aviv Atzili were retrieved from Gaza last week, along with those of Yair Yaakov.
Atzili served as a member of the emergency response unit in Nir Oz and confronted the terrorists who infiltrated Israel on October 7, 2023. He lost his life in the fighting, and his body was taken by Islamic Jihad operatives from the kibbutz. He was 49 years old when he was killed.
His wife, Liat, had been kidnapped from their home in Nir Oz by Hamas operatives and was later freed through a hostage release agreement.

On Sunday night, Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu spoke publicly about Israel’s recent military campaign targeting Iran, emphasizing what he referred to as major accomplishments.

Netanyahu also appealed for internal solidarity amid the crisis. “Four of our citizens were killed in Tamra. I heard people cheering, and I am disgusted by it. Missiles do not distinguish between Jews and Arabs. They target us all. The enemy wants to destroy every one of us — and we are fighting this battle together.”
