The Israeli military has confirmed the recovery of the body of Aviv Atzili, a 49-year-old Israeli reservist and member of Kibbutz Nir Oz’s civil defence squad, from southern Gaza last week.
According to the forces, Atzili was killed on October 7, 2023, during clashes with Hamas-led militants who launched a deadly assault on Israeli communities near the Gaza border.
His body was subsequently taken into Gaza by members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
The recovery operation took place in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, and formed part of a broader mission that also led to the retrieval of another slain hostage, Yair Yaakov, who was also killed in Nir Oz during the October 7 attacks.

‘This is national tragedy’ — Atiku reacts to Benue massacre
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has condemned the recent mass killings in Benue State, describing the attacks that reportedly left over 200 people dead as “senseless” and a stark reminder of Nigeria’s deepening insecurity crisis.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Atiku expressed profound sorrow over the bloodshed, which occurred during coordinated assaults on rural communities in the state.
“This assault on innocent Nigerians is not just a local tragedy; it is a national emergency that requires urgent, decisive action,” he said.
He urged both the Federal Government and the Benue State Government to initiate a thorough and transparent investigation into the attacks, ensure the arrest and prosecution of the perpetrators, and intensify security measures to prevent further violence.
The former Vice President also emphasised the need for the deployment of well-equipped security personnel, improved intelligence gathering, and proactive community protection, especially in vulnerable rural areas.
He advocated for immediate humanitarian support for survivors, including medical aid, trauma counselling, and help rebuilding livelihoods.
“My thoughts and prayers are with the grieving families and communities. No words can capture the depth of pain experienced by those who have lost loved ones, homes, and peace of mind,” Atiku said.
He called on Nigerians to rise above ethnic and religious divisions and collectively demand accountability and sustainable peace.
“Let us stand together as a nation in condemning these atrocities. May God console the bereaved, heal our wounded land, and restore peace to our communities,” he added.

Outrage As Wanted Terrorists’ Kingpin Engages Katsina Communities in Peace Deal
Outrage As Wanted Terrorists’ Kingpin Engages Katsina Communities in Peace Deal
• It’s wrong for govt to fight repentant terrorists, says commissioner
Francis Sardauna in Katsina
Residents of Katsina State were aroused by anger and resentment on Sunday following the engagement of a wanted terrorist kingpin, Ado Aleru, in a peace deal with residents of Danmusa Local Government Area of the state.
Aleru, who was declared wanted by the Katsina State Police Command in 2020 for terrorising Katsina and Zamfara communities, attended a meeting in the Bichi community of Danmusa with other terrorist leaders to explore ways of ending terrorism in the area.
The Saturday peace meeting, which sparked outrage and concern among residents of the state, was also attended by the personnel of the Nigerian Army, Danmusa Local Government officials, traditional and religious leaders, as well as farmers in the area.
During the peace parley, Aleru was seen in a video clip addressing the gathering on measures to be taken by the government, herders, farmers and other communities to ensure peaceful coexistence in the banditry-ravaged local government.
But a top government source, who is against negotiations with terrorists in the state, described the resurfacing of the terrorists’ kingpin, who has been on police watchlist for over four years, as an attempt to evade justice.
In a chat with THISDAY, the source added that involving the renowned terrorists’ leader in a peace deal may undermine the government’s ongoing efforts in tackling security challenges in the state “because he is not sincere in all his dealings”.
“Ado Aleru was declared wanted by police in this state under the leadership of CP Sanusi Buba. The command even placed a N5,000,000 bounty on his head for anybody with useful information that could lead to his arrest.
“He (Aleru) has made himself available now, they should go and arrest him to face the wrath of the law, but certainly not to negotiate with him because he is not sincere,” he said.
However, the state Commission for Security and Home Affairs, Dr. Nasir Mua’zu, told BBC Hausa Service that Aleru and seven other terrorist leaders had voluntarily renounced terrorism and surrendered their arms to the security agencies.
He said the terrorist kingpins denounced their nefarious activities during the peace parley and had since released 17 hostages who had been handed over to their relatives.
He added that the terrorist leaders have also vowed to release all the abductees in their custody for peace and development to thrive in the local government.
According to the commissioner, it would be very wrong for the state government to continue fighting the terrorist leaders because they have accepted peace and surrendered their arms.
He said: “We spent two years fighting these criminals and the governor has made it clear that he will not negotiate with the criminals, but anyone of them who genuinely denounces banditry will be accepted and reintegrated into the society.
“But now that they have renounced banditry, surrendered their arms and made themselves available for peace and dialogue, the government cannot continue fighting them.
“Islamically, it is wrong for the government to continue fighting them since they accepted peace. And going by the Geneva Convention, it is also wrong to extend the fight against the criminals after they came for dialogue.”

“Timely completion is crucial, and I expect all contractors to work diligently towards achieving this goal ”
He appreciated the synergy between Delta State government and the Federal Government on projects ongoing in the state.
