IDF recovers bodies of 2 more hostages
The Israel Defense Forces said it has recovered the bodies of two more hostages: 28-year-old Eden Zecharya, who was taken hostage from the Supernova music festival, and 36-year-old soldier Ziv Dado.
The IDF said its special forces recovered their bodies in Gaza and brought them back to Israel.
Dado was a husband and father of a 5-month-old girl.
"Ziv loved helping others, especially underserved populations," the Hostages and Missing Persons Families Forum said. "During his military service, he received certificates of excellence, was beloved by his commanders and superiors."
Zecharya's boyfriend died in the Oct. 7 attack while she was injured and kidnapped.
Zecharya "was filled with joy for life" and planned to study digital marketing, the Hostages and Missing Persons Families Forum said.
She was devoted to her two dogs, and "in her last phone call, she managed to ask her father to look after her dogs," the Hostages and Missing Persons Families Forum said.
