The IDF informed the family of the abductee Uriel Baruch that his body is being held in Gaza - voila! News. Uriel left behind a wife and two children, two parents and three brothers.

His relatives, who affectionately called him "Badalo" described him as a happy person who likes to spend time, contribute and give to others. Close to the time of his abduction, his family saw him in a Hamas video lying on the ground near the level crossing in Tel Aviv.
