Live from Poria Illit for the funeral of Israeli soldier Oron Shaul on Monday, January 20, following the recovery of his remains by security forces in Gaza.
Shaul was reported killed on July 20, 2014, during the Gaza war, and his body was since held by Hamas.
The recovery operation was conducted by Israeli special forces and the Shin Bet security service, who said they had confirmed his identity with the assistance of the National Institute of Forensic Medicine and the Military Rabbinate.
Hamas was expected to return Shaul’s remains under the new Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal. Israeli President Isaac Herzog is expected among those attending the funeral.
