Remains of French-Mexican man killed in October 7 attack arrive in Mexico

The Israeli army said last week that troops had recovered his body in the northern Gaza Strip, along with the bodies of two other men, including a Brazilian-Israeli citizen.

Hernandez Radoux was born in the central Mexican state of Morelos, but has dual citizenship because his mother is French.

On October 7, he was with his girlfriend, whose death the Israeli authorities confirmed at the end of October, at the Nova electronic music festival in southern Israel, a few kilometers from Gaza.

According to the Israeli army, Hernandez Radoux died in the attack on October 7 and his body was taken to Gaza.

The Gaza War was triggered by the unprecedented attack by the militant Palestinian group Hamas on southern Israel. According to a count by the AFP news agency based on official Israeli figures, 1,189 people were killed, most of them civilians.

The militants also took 252 hostages, 121 of whom are still in the Gaza Strip. According to the army, 37 of them are dead.

According to the Health Ministry of the Hamas-controlled area, at least 36,284 people, mostly civilians, were killed in Israel’s retaliatory offensive in Gaza.
