IDF: One Year Since the Return of Fallen Hostage, Oron Shaul: The IDF and the ISA Reveal Operation “Red South” Which Was Carried Out to Bring Him Home
About a year ago, the IDF and the ISA carried out Operation “Red South”, a covert and precise operation through which the fallen hostage, SSGT Oron Shaul, was returned to Israel. SSGT Oron Shaul fell in combat in Shejaiya on July 20, 2014, during Operation “Protective Edge”, and was then abducted by the Hamas terrorist organization.
During interrogations of detainees, initial information was received regarding a civilian property in which the fallen hostage Oron Shaul had been held over the years.
Based on additional intelligence collected, a decision was made to carry out a designated operation at the site and a key individual residing at that property was apprehended.
During his interrogation by the ISA, precise information was obtained regarding Oron Shaul’s location.
The operation to recover his body was carried out by Sayeret Matkal troops.
One day after the preceding operation, and thanks to a series of intelligence operations, another designated activity was carried out by the ISA, together with Shayetet 13 and the 188th Armored Brigade, under the command of the 162nd Division, and with direction from the Hostages and Missing Persons Headquarters. During this activity, the fallen hostage SSGT Oron Shaul was recovered from the same civilian property in which he had been held for years.
The activity was planned and carried out without endangering living hostages who were still being held captive in Gaza City.
The IDF and the ISA will continue operating until the last of the hostages is returned home.

Joint IDF and ISA Announcement:
In Response to the Blatant Violation of the Ceasefire Agreement: The IDF and ISA Struck Several Terrorists from the Hamas and Islamic Jihad Terrorist Organizations
This past Thursday, following the blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement earlier this week in western Rafah, during which armed terrorists fired at an armored IDF vehicle, the IDF and ISA struck and eliminated several Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists across the Gaza Strip.
It has now been cleared for publication that among the terrorists eliminated were:
Muhammad Hamed Muhammad Khuli - Commander of Hamas’ Central Camps Operations Department.
Over the past decades, Khuli has been a key figure in the Central Camps Brigade. In his role and position, he was significantly involved in Hamas’ preparations in the Brigade itself, particularly ahead of the brutal October 7th massacre. Khuli also oversaw the terrorists who carried out the terror attack at the Nahal Oz roadblock on February 6, 1995, in which Yevgeny Gromov was murdered.
Ashraf Adnan Muhammad al-Khatib - Commander of the Islamic Jihad’s Rocket and Missile Array in the Central Camps area.
Saeed Khaled Ali Abd al-Rahman - Head of Sniping in Hamas’s Deir al Balah Battalion in the Central Camps Brigade, who was a source of knowledge in his domain.
In an additional strike in the Gaza Strip, the IDF struck and eliminated two Hamas terrorists who operated to reestablish terror infrastructure sites belonging to the terror organization in the area.
The elimination of the terrorists significantly degrades Hamas’ capabilities in the Gaza Strip to plan attacks and harm IDF troops deployed in the area in accordance with the ceasefire agreement.
The IDF and ISA will continue to operate against any attempt by terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip to carry out attacks against IDF troops and Israeli civilians.
