On Tuesday, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum and Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak announced that Lior Rudaeff, who has been presumed to be a hostage in Gaza for seven months, died on October 7. 

Hamas terrorists kidnapped his body to the Gaza Strip. No further details have been disclosed. 

Lior Rudaev, 61, lived in Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak and volunteered as an ambulance driver in the Eshkol region for 40 years. 

"Lior had an Argentine spirit, was an avid cyclist, and a fan of Shlomo Artzi's work," the Hostages and Missing Families Forum said.
