Capt. Omer Neutra, 21, died on October 7 of last year, and his body was taken by Hamas to the Gaza Strip, the IDF confirmed on Monday.

New intelligence information that came to light allowed a special military commission of rabbis, scientists, and lawyers to finally confirm his death around 14 months later, despite long-standing suspicions that he was dead.

Neutra was a lone soldier from New York, serving as a tank platoon commander in the 77th Battalion of the 7th Brigade.

He was abducted to the Gaza Strip on October 7 along with members of his tank crew.

1. RIP

Although he's been dead for 14 months.

On Sunday, Neutra's parents spoke with The Jerusalem Post about the possibility of a hostage deal during President-elect Donald Trump's candidacy. “He’s a deal maker. He’s done it before,” Ronen Neutra, Omer's father, said.

Uh huh, right.

4. And Hamas continues to torture friends and family hoping for his release

For all the ones continuing to attack Israel for attacking Gaza - all Hamas has to do is release the hostages - the dead and the ones - maybe - still alive.

5. His family lives in a neighboring community

And were at numerous events held in support of the hostages. I've seen his parents and brother speak for the release of the hostages. I work for a Democratic elected and he's met with them a number of times
It is absolute depravity that Hamas knew he was dead and let the family suffer in agony for more than a year, hoping against hope that they would get him back.
Monstrous in its cruelty.

6. For them it's not a depravity.

It's a bonus.

If you can't win through slaughter, try torture; if that doesn't work, manipulate the gullible "fellow travelers" and "useful idiots." What matters in the long run is that the Good People emerge victorious over their inferiors.
