After the announcement of the return of the body of the abductee Itai Svirski, may his memory be blessed, and the conclusions of the investigation surrounding the retrieval of the six abductees' bodies, IDF Spokesperson Brigadier General Daniel Hagari made a statement to the media this evening.

At the beginning of the statement, Brigadier General Hagari referred to the recovery of the body of Itai Svirsky, may he rest in peace: "In a joint operation by the Shin Bet and the IDF in the Gaza Strip, Itai Svirsky was recovered. He was kidnapped from his parents' home in Kibbutz Be'eri on October 7th. He was kidnapped alive and held alive along with Yossi Sharabi, may he rest in peace, and Noa Argamani." Iti was rescued in an operational activity about which we cannot elaborate in order not to undermine the operational efforts of the IDF and the Shin Bet.

At the question stage, the IDF spokesperson sharply criticized the passage of the Feldstein Law in a preliminary reading in the Knesset: "The IDF does not hide information from the political echelon but operates under the political echelon for the security of the State of Israel." The document in question was accessible to the authorized parties in the Prime Minister's Office.

"The document was stolen from the IDF and transferred to a newspaper in Germany through a route that bypassed censorship, exposing it to the enemy and harming the security of the State of Israel." Regarding the law, it is dangerous for the IDF because it will create a situation where any junior officer in the IDF can, at their discretion, release documents from the IDF or intelligence information, and this is simply something that will endanger human lives and the lives of fighters, and therefore it is dangerous for the IDF and the security of the state.
