The headquarters of the families of the kidnapped and missing persons (Hebrew: מטה משפחות החטופים והנעדרים) is a body established by the families of the abductees who were kidnapped to Gaza as part of the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, and by the families of the missing persons as a result of this attack. The headquarters is designed to return the abductees from Gaza, to locate those missing from the attack, as well as to handle medical, legal and other matters related to the abduction and its consequences.
