Israel recovers last missing soldier from 1979 battle
The Israeli forces announced the recovery of the remains of First Sergeant Yehuda Yakutiel Katz, who went missing during the Battle of Sultan Yaqoub in Lebanon in 1982, after 44 years of his disappearance. The operation resulted from joint intelligence efforts led by the military intelligence and Mossad. The remains were identified at the Israeli War Dead Identification Center. With this recovery, Israel has closed the case of all soldiers missing from the Battle of Sultan Yaqoub, following the earlier recovery of the remains of Zakaria Bauml and Tzvi Fildman. The family was informed of the news, though they were unaware that Katz's parents had already passed away before knowing. The Chief of Staff confirmed that recovering the remains marks a significant and historic moment for the Israeli army.
