IDF recovers bodies of hostages Itzhak Gelerenter, Amit Buskila and Shani Louk in Gaza

The military announced Friday that soldiers recovered the bodies of three hostages from the Gaza Strip, as intensive fighting raged there between Israeli forces and Hamas.

The three were named as Itzhak Gelerenter, Amit Buskila, and Shani Louk.

In a press statement, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said the bodies were recovered in an overnight operation carried out by the military and Shin Bet.

 The three were at the Supernova music festival near Re’im on the morning of the Hamas-led October 7 onslaught, where they then fled to the Mefalsim area.

Hagari said they were killed there by Hamas terrorists, and their bodies were then kidnapped to Gaza.

Until recently, both Gelerenter and Buskila were presumed to be alive, while Louk was confirmed dead in late October after a piece of her skull was identified following widely shared footage of terrorists kidnapping her.

The military had initially not planned to make the announcement of the recovery of the bodies on Friday, but rather wait until the operation had concluded. However, due to rumors spreading on social media about the operation, it was decided to release some information, including the names of the three hostages.

“I call on the public — please refrain from spreading rumors and maintain the security of our forces. Keep our forces safe. Listen to the messages of the IDF spokesperson and the official bodies only,” Hagari said. “We will update with any information that is available, transparently, first of all the families and then the public through the media.”

According to Hagari, the recovery efforts have “been going on for a long time already.” He also said some of the intelligence for the operation came from Palestinian terror suspects captured by the IDF and interrogated by the Shin Bet.

“The intense fighting in all parts of the Strip continues, and the task of utmost importance of returning the hostages is [on the mind] of every commander and fighter in the field,” he added.

Shani Louk’s father Nissim later told Channel 12 news while the announcement that the IDF recovered her body was difficult to receive, it was also news that he had been waiting for, since he had been officially informed more than six months ago that Shani was dead.

Nissim said military representatives showed him a picture of Shani’s body when they informed him that her remains were recovered from Gaza, while praising the “brave soldiers” who did so.

11 Facts About the Crusades and the Jews

1. The Crusades Were “Holy” Wars

The Crusades were a series of “holy” wars carried out by European Christians primarily in the 11th-13th centuries. Their stated goal was to free Jerusalem from the Muslims, whom they viewed as infidels, and establish a Christian kingdom there. On their way to the Holy Land, the zealous mobs pounced on the opportunity to rid themselves of the “infidels” in their midst—the Jews, viciously decimating many Jewish communities.

2. They Were Initiated by Popes

Far from being a grassroots movement, the Crusades were called for and directed by the Popes themselves. Although they did not openly advocate for the murder of Jews, many church leaders were quick to turn a blind eye when these atrocities did occur.

3. The Crusaders’ Motives Were Far From Sacred

Politics played a large role in the papal decision to launch a crusade. For centuries, the Church had been at odds with the monarchs of Western Europe, each side jockeying for power. What greater strategy to undermine royal authority than to call for a religious war, uniting the masses under the Pope’s banner? As for the soldiers, they joined the Crusades as an easy way to get rich off plunder—and to obtain the Church’s promise of eternal salvation and automatic forgiveness for all their sins.

4. Soldiers Were Joined by Mobs of Peasants

Initially, the plan was for the Crusades to consist of armies of professional soldiers on an organized expedition to the Holy Land. But as religious hysteria spread throughout Europe, more and more peasants and commonfolk joined the Crusaders’ ranks. With tens of thousands of people joining the cause, any sense of order and discipline had now disappeared, and the masses, spurred by religious zeal and natural greed, felt free to act as they wished. In many cases, these mobs overwhelmed the forces of local rulers who attempted to protect their Jewish subjects.

Beit Shemesh "Bet" Chareidim Continue to Terrorize Beit Shemesh "Dalet" and Hire a Al Jazeera Photographer

 "Hamas'nik get out of here" 

 Residents detained an Arab reporter who refused to identify himself after they suspected him of being an Al Jazeera journalist

This was filmed at the start of Yom Hatzmaot. 

A resident of "Dalet", businessman Baruch Ashkenazi is seen preventing a foreign Arab photographer from documenting the Palestinian flag parade of the Chareidim of "Bet"  

The photographer, who refused to identify himself or deny that he works for *Al Jazeera,* was invited to the parade by the "Bet'nickes" , following the custom of far-left organizations that post provocations against IDF soldiers in Israel.

Ashkenazi managed to prevent the photographer from documenting the Palestinian flag parade, and for many minutes he confronted the photographer, when, surprisingly, the one who tried to help the foreign photographer was *the ultra-Orthodox photographer, Yaakov Lederman*, who also during the year pastes the Pashkevils and the 'Kol Kora' letters of the fanatics, and is in close cooperation with them.

After a few minutes, dozens of other residents joined Ashkenazi and began to expel the Arab photographer. 

The person who rescued the Al-Jazeera Photographer as mentioned, is Laderman, who was also invited by the extremists to document the parade.
