Today, 7:17 am...The Hostage Family Forum says that the body returned by the Hamas overnight has been identified as that of  Eliyahu “Churchill” Margalit, 75.

Margalit was murdered by Hamas terrorists in Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7, 2023 and his body kidnapped.

On December 1, 2023, the IDF announced that Eliyahu had been killed and his body was being held in Gaza.

The military said it made its declaration “based on findings that were collected, and intelligence.” His daughter, Nili Margalit, 40, was also kidnapped on October 7, and was released from Hamas captivity on November 30. He is survived by his wife, Daphna, children Noa, Danny and Nili and three grandchildren.

Loved ones reported that Eliyahu left his home early that Saturday morning to feed his beloved horses in the kibbutz stable and that his horses were also taken along with him. Eliyahu was responsible for many years for the kibbutz’s cattle.

Following the return of Margalit’s body, 18 bodies of dead captives still remain in the Gaza Strip after 28 were held there at the start of the current ceasefire.

Egypt is expected to lead a planned international stabilization force to manage security in Gaza after it is given backing by the UN Security Council, diplomats tell the Guardian.


According to the report, European powers and the United States are preparing a motion that will give the force a UN mandate, without it being an actual UN peacekeeping force.

The force is part of US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan, and is meant to secure the Strip during a transitional postwar period, while the Strip is managed by a technocratic Palestinian government and the Hamas terror group is disarmed.

The plans for the first are in line with former UK prime minister Tony Blair’s plan for Gaza, revealed by The Times of Israel last month.

Now Israel is more serious about hamas plan to talk peace then war.

Trump vows a 'brutal' end to Hamas if group 'continues to act badly'
In a post on Truth Social, US President Donald Trump said that numerous American “allies” in the Middle East would “welcome the opportunity” – at his “request” – to enter Gaza “with a heavy force” and “straighten” out Hamas if the militant group “continues to act badly” in ways he says are in violation of his ceasefire agreement.

In the social media post, Trump said

Gaza humanitarian crisis ‘unchanged’, Israel keeps restricting aid

Palestinians in desperate need of aid: Agencies demand massive supply scale-up 

24 Oct 2025. al improvement has been seen on the ground in the Gaza Strip, except for the entry of a limited number of trucks that fail to meet the minimum needs of the affected population, Mahmoud Basal, the spokesperson for Gaza’s civil defence.

The UN’s International Organization for Migration (IOM) has said “shelter needs remain dire” in the Gaza Strip, with about 90 percent of the population displaced and at least 1.5 million people in need of emergency shelter assistance.

An Israeli military drone was shot down by the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) during a routine surveillance mission in the Kafr Kila area on Sunday, the military said Monday.
According to an IDF statement, the drone had posed no threat to the UNIFIL observers, who opened fire on the device and downed it on Sunday.

Families of Israeli hostages demand that the next steps in the US-brokered Gaza peace plan be put on hold until Hamas returns the remaining bodies of dead captives.

“Hamas knows exactly where every one of the deceased hostages is held. Two weeks have passed since the deadline set in the agreement for the return of all 48 hostages, yet 13 remain in Hamas captivity,” the Hostages and Missing Families Forum said.

“The families urge the Government of Israel, the United States administration and the mediators not to advance to the next phase of the agreement until Hamas fulfils all of its obligations and returns every hostage to Israel.”

Israel has launched strikes on Gaza after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the military to immediately carry out "powerful" attacks

At least nine people have been killed, the Hamas-affiliated Gaza Civil Defence agency tells the BBC

Israel and Hamas are accusing each other of violating the ceasefire, while Israel's defence minister says Hamas attacked Israeli soldiers in Gaza - Hamas denies this

It comes as Israel says a coffin handed over by Hamas on Monday did not contain the remains of a deceased hostage

Hamas says Israel is obstructing efforts to search for bodies in the Strip, and says it is postponing a planned handover of another dead hostage

All but one of the dead hostages still in Gaza were among the 251 people abducted during the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, when about 1,200 other people were killed

Israel responded by launching a military campaign in Gaza, during which more than 68,500 people have been killed, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry
