Hamas Says It Found Hadar Goldin’s Body Near Rafah as IDF Disputes Claim

The IDF calls the report false, urging the public to rely on official statements.

Overview

  • A Hamas Qassam Brigades source told Al Jazeera the remains of the soldier killed in 2014 were located during searches near Rafah on Saturday.
  • The same source said six dead militants were found at the reported site.
  • The IDF said it has no information indicating Goldin’s body is in a Rafah tunnel and described the reports as harmful and untrue.
  • An earlier Galei Zahal item cited unnamed Israeli officials alleging the body was held in a Janina tunnel in eastern Rafah, a claim the military has not corroborated.
  • Haaretz reported the White House told Hamas that militants stuck in Rafah would be allowed passage only if Goldin’s body were returned.
