Names of the Hostages in Gaza for Prayer - A list of names compiled from various published sources

PDF

Terrorists from Gaza abducted as many as 240 people from Israel during the Oct. 7 massacres, when they murdered 1,200 and wounded thousands more.

The current list has been updated on 12/2, noting who has been released, who is still presumed in Gaza, and who has tragically died there. Please come back periodically to Chabad.org/Hostages to check for updates.

Join us in praying to G‑d that all the hostages be returned from captivity safely and speedily. Amen!

12/5

Itay Svirsky's dead body has been recovered

100 hostages remain Reply

Sara holland Jerusalem December 3, 2024

Omer neutra has been declared killed on oct 7 and his body taken to gaza.

Good news is israel now says around 60 hostages are alive not 50.

Also Trump says the hostages better be returned by jan 20 when he comes into office, or else.

Trump will make sure ALL the hostages are returned - all 101 of them.
So there is an end in sight Reply

I have been informed that the name of Karina Ariev's mother for davening purposes is Irena, not Ira. May all this tzar, all these treoubles serve to hasten the coming of Moshiach. Reply

תודה! על התיקון. אם יש כוח, אפשר גם להוסיף שנה לגיל החטופים החיים. רק בשורות טובות! Reply

Omer shem tov's mother's name is Sheli, his father's name is Malki, which may be why you made the mistake of writing Omer ben Malka Reply

The list published on Monday is taken from the Ha'aretz newspaper. Reply

Update: Israel estimates that the majority of the hostages detained in the Gaza Strip are alive, Israel Hayom reported on Sunday. (Today, 3 November.) I posted the list unknown earlier; was not published.

Out of the 101 hostages currently detained in Gaza captivity, 51 are believed to be alive, the report noted.

Out of that number, 37 hostages have been officially announced as dead, the report added. Reply

in response to Sara holland:

Thank you very much Sara. I will use your list.
I am looking for a site, which has the weekly updated list, showing the names who currently urgently need prayers.
I hope that all on the list are already fully recovered - then they don't need urgent prayers. There are other reasons why someone who needed prayer for recovery is not now on the list.
If you can provide the link to info, it will be truly appreciated. Reply

Looks like some of the beginnings of the names got cut off please fix. Reply

Does anyone know if Bancha Duchruayawach is an actual hostage? oct7map-dot-com only lists him as murdered in Nir Oz: the only source on oct7map-dot-com links to a haaretz-dot-com article that does not provide any other information other than 'foreign worker from Thailand'
Looking up the alternative spelling "Bancha Dachtuyawat" off oct7map-dot-com leads to '710360-dot-kan-dot-org-dot-il' which lists his age as 29, the same information I could find googling the spelling from this website, but does not list him as a hostage, instead listing him as fallen. The only website that lists him as a hostage is this site, and it does not correspond to any other website I have found.
Please keep me updated. Reply

Does anybody know of the status of hostage Shmuel ben Chava? Reply

If you're referring to Keith Siegel, it appears he was one of the hostages freed by Hamas in the hostage deal in November Reply

According to the AJC website (as of October 7 2024) Keith Siegel is still being held hostage. Reply

he wasn't freed just his wife was, but may it be a sign that he will be freed soon that you wrote that! Reply

Apparently he has been released. Reply

Thanks for the clarification. There's so much misinformation about the Gaza war floating around out there that it's hard to keep track. Reply

גם את גילם אפשר לתקן ל-27

Please correct the mother’s name of Gali and Ziv Berman.
Gali ben Talia and Ziv ben Tali’s (Berman).
Their age can also be corrected to 27.
(Either they told you Tali, you heard “Tami” and wrote down Tamar, or you copied and pasted from there to the next)
May you be signed and sealed in the Book of Life. Reply

in response to Linda:

Translation: please fix the name of the mother of gali and ziv berman?
gali son of⁹ talia and ziv son of talia berman. Also their age is it possible to change to 27?

The rest i was too confused to translate correctly Reply

This from the Washington Post today, 11 October
"Number of hostages remaining in Gaza: An estimated 63.

The Israeli prime minister’s office lists 97 hostages still held in Gaza, and has confirmed 34 of them as dead, bringing the estimated number of living hostages to 63." Reply
