The IDF spokesperson announced on Monday morning that the remains of Dolev Yehud, H”yd, 35, were located on Kibbutz Nir Oz.
Yehud, H’yd, a resident of the kibbutz, served as a volunteer paramedic for Hatzalah and MDA. After the Hamas assault began on October 7th, he left his house to help save lives but was murdered by Hamas terrorists.
Yehud was initially thought to have been abducted to Gaza but when no indications were discovered of his abduction, authorities reevaluated and began to attempt to identify his remains.
Following an identification procedure carried out by medical officials at the National Institute of Forensic Medicine and the HaTzvi Institute in Shura, IDF representatives informed the family.
Yehud was married with three children. Only nine days after October 7th, his wife, Sigal, gave birth to their fourth child while he was thought to be in captivity.
His sister, Arbel Yehud, 28, was abducted to Gaza and is still in captivity.

Doesn’t sound very scientific. Sounds like they had to come up with an answer for his wife.
@Bklyntrucker: This has more to do with our values that just having to come up with an answer for his wife. Israel cares for each and every life, and each and every body. This involves grueling forensic work that no one should ever have to deal with to identify the badly burned and mangled bodies. But proper kvura, yahrtzeit, a kever to visit, etc., are all valued in halacha, so the IDF and the Rabbanim are not giving up on anyone. May we never have to face anything even remotely like this to understand what they are going through.
