Omer Neutra, a New York native, was 21 at the time of his death. He was a captain in the Israel Defense Forces when he was killed and abducted by Hamas during the terrorist organization’s Oct. 7, 2023, attack on an Israeli music festival, which triggered the war in Gaza.
The IDF confirmed on Monday that Hamas returned Neutra’s body, as well as the remains of Col. Assaf Hamami and Staff Sgt. Oz Daniel, to Israel as part of the Gaza ceasefire agreement brokered by President Donald Trump last month.
