Here's a rephrased version of the content to make it plagiarism-free and unique:
"The Israeli government announced the tragic death of an Israeli man, Dror Or, who was kidnapped by Hamas during a surprise attack on Israel in October. His body is being held by the Iran-backed militia in Gaza.
The government stated, "We are saddened to confirm that Dror Or, who was abducted by Hamas on Oct. 7, has been murdered, and his body is being held in Gaza." No details about the timing or method of his death have been released to the public.
Or, 49, along with two of his three children, 13-year-old Alma and 17-year-old Noam, were among the 253 Israelis and foreign citizens kidnapped by Hamas from their homes during the Oct. 7 attack, which sparked a nearly seven-month-long war with Israel in Gaza. His wife, Yonat, was killed in Hamas' initial assault, along with approximately 1,200 other Israelis. Alma and Noam were released in November during a brief ceasefire that allowed for the exchange of prisoners held by Israel and hostages held by Hamas.
The Israel Defense Force estimates that around 130 hostages are still held captive by Hamas, although some are believed to have died."
