Hannah Katzir, a 78-year-old Israel i woman who was taken hostage during Hamas 's attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, has died. She was among the 250 hostages the Palestinian militant group took back into Gaza following the surprise attack that left about 1,200 people dead. Israel ’s subsequent bombardment and ground invasion have killed over 45,000 Palestinians in Gaza, more than half of them women and children, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
Katzir was freed in a brief ceasefire last year but her daughter said her mother’s “heart could not withstand the terrible suffering since October 7.” Katzir’s husband, Rami, was killed during the attack by militants who raided their home in Kibbutz Nir Oz. Her son Elad was also kidnapped and his body was recovered in April by the Israeli military, who said he had been killed in captivity
