Kidnapping and killing of Hersh Goldberg-Polin

Uncommon card · No. 93732

As part of the Hamas-led attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, 23-year-old American-Israeli Hersh Goldberg-Polin (Hebrew: הרש גולדברג-פולין) was wounded and abducted by Hamas during the Re'im music festival massacre. He was held hostage for almost 11 months, until his body was recovered from a tunnel in Rafah in the Gaza Strip on 31 August 2024. It was later revealed that Goldberg-Polin and five other hostages with him were killed by Hamas. His autopsy indicated he was likely shot from "close range" 1–2 days before his body was found.
