Ilan Weiss was killed defending Kibbutz Be'eri in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, while his wife and daughter were taken hostage and later released, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
"Ilan was from Kibbutz Be’eri and left his home on the morning of October 7 to join the kibbutz emergency response team. He was murdered and kidnapped by Hamas during the October 7 Massacre," it added. "His wife Shiri, 54, and daughter Noga, 19, were taken hostage into Gaza and released during the ceasefire deal in November 2023."
The body of a second Israeli was also recovered Friday and is now in the process of being identified, according to the Associated Press.
