Gaza, Palestine – The body of a second Israeli hostage was recovered near the largest hospital complex in Gaza, six weeks after she was abducted by Hamas militants. Noa Marciano, 19, was confirmed dead by Israeli authorities earlier this week after Hamas released images apparently showing her lifeless body. The group said Marciano, a soldier in Israel’s Combat Intelligence Collection Corps 414th unit, had been killed in an Israeli airstrike.

On Friday, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Marciano’s body was extracted by Israeli troops “from a structure adjacent to the Shifa Hospital in the Gaza Strip and was transferred to Israeli territory.” The military statement added that she was formally identified on Thursday. “The IDF sends its heartfelt condolences to the family and will continue to support them,” the statement added.

News of the discovery of Marciano’s remains comes after the IDF claimed Thursday it had found the body of Yehudit Weiss, a 65-year-old mother of five who had also been taken hostage, similarly in a “structure” adjacent to the hospital. In a statement on social media, the IDF said Marciano had been “abducted and murdered by Hamas terrorists.”

Marciano was one of several women taken from the Nahal Oz IDF base when it was stormed by Hamas on Oct. 7. It’s thought around 240 people were taken captive by during the attacks in southern Israel, which also left 1,200 people dead.

Late Thursday, the Israeli military claimed to have found an “operational tunnel shaft” and a vehicle containing weapons at the hospital complex. Human Rights Watch Director Louis Charbonneau said the evidence Israel has released so far is not sufficient to justify stripping the hospital of its protections under international humanitarian law.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday night told CBS News that Israel had “concrete evidence” of the Hamas command center. He also said Israel’s attempts to fight the group in Gaza with “minimal civilian casualties” have been “not successful,” blaming Hamas for hiding behind Palestinian civilians. According to Palestinian health officials, at least 11,470 people have died in Gaza since the fighting erupted six weeks ago.

The death toll is likely to increase as humanitarian aid deliveries were suspended on Friday owing to a communications blackout and lack of fuel in the enclave. The U.N.’s World Food Programme (WFP) says just 10 percent of necessary food supplies are entering Gaza and that almost the entire population is now in urgent need of assistance.
