Fresh agony for Israeli October 7 families as the boyfriend of Shani Louk is confirmed to have also been killed by Hamas after IDF carries out overnight operation to recover the bodies of three more victims

The bodies of three Israeli hostages taken by Hamas terrorists during the October 7 attacks were recovered from Gaza overnight after a joint operation between the IDF and the Shin Bet Security Service (ISA), it said revealed.

Hanan Yablonka, Michel Nisenbaum and Oryon Hernandez-Radoux were kidnapped on October 7 from the Supernova music festival and the Mefalsim intersection, just a mile from the Gaza border, and then killed by Hamas, Israeli officials said today.

Hernandez-Radoux, 30, was the boyfriend of Shani Louk, the 22-year-old German-Israeli girl who became a symbol of the brutal Hamas attack after the world witnessed images of armed men carrying her semi-naked body on their back parading through Gaza from a pickup truck.

Their bodies were reportedly located by the IDF and ISA and recovered from a location in Jabalia, north of Gaza City, after a bitter firefight.

IDF representatives today informed the families of the deceased after their identities were confirmed by medical officials from the Israel National Forensic Institute and the Israel Police.

The Hostages and Missing Families Forum, a volunteer group founded by loved ones of those kidnapped by Hamas on October 7, this morning paid moving tribute to the three men found dead in Jabalia.

‘It is with deep sadness that the Families Forum bows its head following the announcement of the murders of Michel Nisenbaum, Hanan Yablonka and Oryon Hernandez Radoux.

“May their memories be a blessing at the hands of Hamas terrorists.”

“The sad return of Michel, Hanan and Oryon is another heartbreak for the 125 families of the hostages, who share the pain, grief and endless sorrow.

“The recovery of their bodies is a silent but firm reminder that the State of Israel is obliged to immediately send negotiating teams with the clear demand to conclude a deal that will quickly return all hostages home: the living for rehabilitation and the murdered for their rehabilitation. funeral, it was concluded’.

Hernandez-Radoux was a French-Mexican citizen and resident of Mexico. He had attended the Supernova festival with his girlfriend Shani and their friend Keshet Casarotti, both of whom were subsequently murdered by Hamas.

Michel Nisenbaum, 59, was a Brazilian-Israeli citizen living in Sderot, just over a mile from the Gaza border.

Michel, father of two daughters and grandfather of six, was taken hostage when he went to rescue his four-year-old granddaughter who was with her father at the Re’im military base.

Hanan Yablonka, 42, was an Israeli citizen from Tel Aviv, and father of nine-year-old Yarin and 12-year-old Emily. Like so many others, he was taken hostage during the Supernova Festival and dragged back to Gaza.

The discovery of the bodies comes a week after the remains of Oryon’s partner Shani were recovered from a tunnel in Jabalia.

Shani’s remains were found last week next to the bodies of Itzhak Gelerenter, 57, and Amit Buskila, 28, during a similar overnight raid.

All three attended the Oct. 7 Supernova Festival at Kibbutz Re’im, one of the first locations attacked by Hamas during its deadly incursion into Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the deaths of the three revelers “heartbreaking” and added: “We will return all our hostages, both living and dead.”

Shani was seen dancing at the Nova Festival hours before the Hamas attack.

Her father defended the award given to an AP photographer who captured the chilling moment his 22-year-old daughter’s half-naked body was paraded through Gaza by Hamas.

His comments come after friends said they were shocked the photo had won the prestigious award and were in tears.

The decision to award AP photographer Ali Mahmud the Reynolds Journalism Institute’s oldest photojournalism gong earlier this month, where he finished first in “Team Picture Story of the Year,” sparked outrage.

The photo shows five armed Hamas members in a pickup truck, one of whom rests his feet on the limp, mutilated body of the murdered Louk. Further footage shows the terrorists parading her body in Gaza amid cheering crowds, with someone spitting on her remains.

But Louk’s father, Nissim, said: “It’s good that the photo won the prize.”

“This is one of the most important photos of the last fifty years,” he told Ynet.

He was convinced that his daughter’s photo will leave a mark on the history of humanity. He sees the photo as a symbol of the current era and will hopefully serve as documentation for generations to come.

“These are some of the photographs that shape human memory: the Jew raising his hands, the paratroopers at the Western Wall, photographs that symbolize an era,” he continued.

‘This documentation of Shani and Noa Argamani on the motorcycle symbolizes this era. I think using it to inform the future is a good thing.”

‘If I start to cry, what will happen? This is history. In 100 years they will look and know what happened here. I travel around the world and everyone knows who Shani is,” he told Ynet.

But Shani’s mother Ricarda said she was shocked by the photo and said it forced her and her family to relive the trauma of losing their loved one.
