After 503 days the waiting is over. The family of Oded Lifshitz has confirmation of his death and a body to bury. The 84 year old grandfather and peace activist was kidnapped on October 7, 2023 by the beasts of Hamas in their unprovoked and unwarranted attack on the citizens of the Sovereign State of Israel. Yizhar Lifshitz said in January that Yocheved and the rest of the family understood that it was unlikely that their patriarch was still alive, but this is still wracking. Yocheved was also kidnapped, but was returned after 25 days.
