The IDF said it had intelligence that Mr Katzir was “murdered in captivity” by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group.
Carmit Palty Katzir, the sister of the murdered hostage, said her family was notified that his brother was killed in captivity.
In a Facebook post, she wrote that his body was extracted from the Gaza Strip in a daring raid – and will now be returned to the family for last rights.
“Elad was brought to Israel last night, after being murdered captive,” the post read.
She also added that a spokesperson for IDF will announce the “brave rescue operation”.
Katzir’s mother, Hanna Katzir, was also kidnapped from her home on Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7.
However, she was released by Hamas militants on November 24 during the temporary ceasefire deal.
