On Monday, it was cleared for publication that Sergeant Major (SGM) Mohammad El Atrash, was killed while fighting against the terrorists on October 7th, and his body is being held by Hamas. His family has been informed. In December, the IDF had previously said he had been adducted to Gaza.
Atrash, aged 39, was a resident of Mulada from the Al-Atrash tribe. He was a soldier in the Bedouin Trackers Unit in the Northern Brigade of the Gaza Division. He is survived by two wives and 13 children.
The Hostages Families Forum released a statement saying that the organization “bows its head in sorrow and with a heavy heart following the confirmation that Sergeant Major Mohammad Alatrash fell in battle on October 7th, and his body was subsequently abducted to Gaza by Hamas terrorists.”
“The Families Forum will continue to support and stand by the family during this difficult time and until his remains are returned to Israel.
“The media is kindly requested to refrain from contacting the family during this challenging period and to respect their privacy.”
