BREAKING: IDF recovers bodies of 6 hostages from Gaza, including one previously presumed alive |
The bodies of six Israeli hostages abducted by terrorists on October 7, including one previously presumed alive, were recovered in an overnight operation in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, the military announced Tuesday morning. The deceased hostages brought back were Alex Dancyg, 75, Yagev Buchshtav, 35, Chaim Peri, 79, Yoram Metzger, 80, Nadav Popplewell, 51, and Avraham Munder, 78. All six are known to have been taken to Gaza alive during the Hamas-led attacks, and were killed over the course of the 10-month-long war. The IDF said it had obtained accurate intelligence that allowed troops, including special forces, with the 98th Division and members of the Shin Bet security agency to reach a specific tunnel in Khan Younis and recover the bodies, amid a new offensive in the city in the southern Gaza Strip. Troops did not face any resistance inside the tunnel or in the immediate vicinity, and fighting only took place in surrounding areas of Khan Younis. |
