Brigadier General (resp.) Gal Hirsh, the leader of the task force said, "We will physically visit all families of the missing and provide answer"

Following Hamas' terror attacks on Israel, where over 140 civilians were kidnaped and are currently held captive in Gaza, a unit in the IDF has specialized on the case. 

The Kidnapped and Missing Persons Task Force, involves a specialized team of around 200 reserve officers, both male and female, who will personally reach out to families coping with the uncertainty of missing loved ones.

Brigadier General Gal Hirsch, who heads the Kidnapped and Missing Persons Task Force, has initiated this compassionate effort to facilitate communication between these families and the authorities. 

The primary objective is to establish direct and personal contact with the affected families during these challenging times.
