A year and a half after the dog Billy was kidnapped to the Gaza Strip on October 7, she was found on Tuesday by a Golani Brigade force operating in Rafah. The dog belongs to Rachel Dancyg, the ex-wife of the late Alex Dancyg, who was kidnapped to Gaza and murdered in captivity.
Billy, a 3-and-a-half-year-old Cavalier King Charles spaniel, was identified thanks to an implanted electronic chip checked after a soldier brought her to the vet.

Journalist Hanoch Daum posted about the discovery of the beloved dog on Facebook.
"Want to hear a story? A. is in the reserves in Gaza. A purebred dog came out of the rubble and came to him. He took her and today we checked her and she has a chip. She is from Nir Oz. She heard Hebrew and came out. We are trying to call the owner. I pray that someone will bring her back." Daum added: "And thanks to our reservists who are also protecting us on this holiday."
