Engel, a volunteer photographer for Magen David Adom and motorcycle enthusiast, tried to defend his family when terrorists broke into their home and was taken hostage. His wife, Karina, and their daughters, Mika and Yuval, were also abducted separately. In early December 2023 -- four days after his wife and daughters were freed in a hostage deal -- the family learned that Engel had been murdered while in Hamas captivity.
The remains of a second hostage are being examined the National Center for Forensic Medicine. (ANI/TPS)
