Israel has identified the body of Tal Haimi, who was 42 years old when he was killed defending his kibbutz two years ago against Hamas militants, who then took his body into Gaza.
According to his wife Ella, Haimi told her on the morning of the Hamas attack that there were terrorists nearby and asked her to lock up their house.
She and their three children survived, and she had their fourth child after his death.
