Iris Haim, whose son Yotam was abducted from Kibbutz Kfar Aza on October 7 and later mistakenly killed by IDF fire in Gaza, posted a video from his apartment alleging that workers defecated there. She said they were too lazy to walk to the kibbutz toilets. Similar evidence was found last month at the home of two other fallen hostages, Nir Zini and Niv Raviv.
Iris Haim, the mother of Yotam Haim — an Israeli hostage abducted from Kibbutz Kfar Aza on October 7, 2023, who was mistakenly killed by IDF fire in Gaza in December 2023 alongside two other hostages — released a video on Sunday from the apartment where her son had been held. In the footage, she alleges that workers entering the site have used the room as a toilet. "They're too lazy to walk to the kibbutz toilets, and choose to defecate there," she said. "You murdered and also desecrated?" The family's lawyer said last month that human feces had been found at the home of fallen hostages Nir Zini and Niv Raviv in a separate incident. The Zioneer has previously reported on Yotam Haim's case as part of the broader October 7 aftermath and hostage saga. The claim has not been independently verified and the identity of the workers was not specified in the report.
