Army confirms
Six dead hostages recovered in the Gaza Strip
Israel's military has recovered the bodies of six hostages in the Gaza Strip. They include the US-Israeli citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, US President Joe Biden announced on Sunday. Israel's military later confirmed the death of six hostages.
The bodies were recovered from an underground tunnel in the Rafah area in the south of the Gaza Strip. According to an army spokesman, they were killed by the kidnappers shortly before they were discovered. The mortal remains were transferred to Israel.
The hostages had been abducted in the Gaza Strip during the surprise attack by Hamas and fighters from the allied Islamic Jihad on southern Israel on October 7, 2023. According to Israeli reports, the extremists killed 1,200 people and abducted more than 250 hostages in the Gaza Strip.
According to the local health authority, more than 40,600 Palestinians have been killed and almost 94,000 injured in the subsequent Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
In the course of a week-long ceasefire at the end of November, Hamas finally released 105 hostages. In return, Israel released 240 Palestinian prisoners from jails.
I pray to God to bring you back. Right now. I love you, stay strong.

Hersh Goldberg-Polin's parents recently commemorated their son's fate at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. On Thursday, the couple gathered with other hostage relatives at the Gaza border.
"Hersh, this is mom"
The relatives tried to reach the hostages in the Gaza Strip directly with loud loudspeaker announcements. "Hersh, it's mom," Goldberg-Polin's mother addressed her son. "I pray to God to bring you back. Right now. I love you, stay strong."
The 23-year-old was one of the 251 hostages abducted. Around 100 hostages are still in captivity - dozens of them are dead, according to the Israeli military. In the photo released in April, he can be seen wearing a red shirt and sitting on a plastic chair, his left arm amputated.
I wanted to hang out with my friends and instead found myself fighting for my life with serious injuries all over my body.
