The bodies of three more hostages killed on October 7 were returned overnight from Gaza, the Israeli army announced today, quoted by world agencies, writes BTA.
The bodies of Hanan Jablonka, Michelle Niesenbaum and Orion Hernandez Radu have been found and their families have been notified. The army said they were killed on the day of the attack at the Mefalsim junction and their bodies were taken to Gaza.
The announcement comes less than a week after the army said it had recovered the bodies of three other Israeli hostages killed in the October 7 attack.
The “Hamas“ militants killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapped about 250 in the attack on October 7, 2023. About half of those hostages have since been released, most in exchange for Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons during a week-long ceasefire in November.< /p>
Israel says around 100 hostages are still being held captive in Gaza, and the bodies of around 30 others are also being held by “Hamas”.
