Bilha Yinon, 76, was previously considered missing, but her passing has now been confirmed. She was killed alongside her husband, Yaakov, in their home on October 7th.
The couple’s home was reportedly set on fire by pillaging Hamas members, leading to the IDF later discovering teeth that belonged to Yinon amongst the destruction.
“This provides closure for some of the children and grandchildren, but less so for us. We think about Mom and Dad every day and relive October 7,” Mor, their daughter, said.
The IDF initially considered the woman to be dead, but a lack of DNA evidence prompted the IDF to reconsider their conclusion and step up investigative efforts.
The October 7th assault on southern Israel resulted in at least 1,200 deaths, as well as 251 hostages that were taken to Gaza.
Additionally, a temporary cease-fire in November led to the release of 105 civilian hostages back into Israel. 116 hostages still remain as prisoners in Gaza, however, the IDF is still unaware how many of those hostages are alive.
