ALBAWABA - According to the Israeli Broadcasting Service, during a joint operation, the Israeli Army and The Shabak were able to retrieve the bodies of 6 hostages who were held in Gaza.
The Jerusalem Post released a list consisting of the names of the people whose bodies were retrieved from Gaza. Reports believe that the 6 were killed after being held hostage, probably due to heavy Israeli bombardment.
"Israel recovered the bodies of hostages Nadav Popplewell, Yagev Buchshtab, Yoram Metzger, Haim Peri, Alexander Dancyg, and Avraham Munder from the Khan Yunis area in Gaza," Jerusalem Post reported.
Families of Israeli hostages held in Gaza urged mediators on Monday to continue their attempts to free the hostages under a deal with the Palestinian organization Hamas.
They made the request in a letter addressed to Egyptian intelligence director Abbas Kamel, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, and US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director William Burns, according to the Israeli news website Walla.
Al-Aqsa Flood operation against Israel
Hamas military group announced on Oct. 7 a military operation called "Al-Aqsa Flood" against Israel which is the biggest offensive in decades.
Palestinian fighters “infiltrated” Israel from the Gaza Strip and captured military bases and took hostages as photos and videos went viral online showing Hamas fighters on vehicles inside Israel and others paragliding into occupation territory.
In response, Israeli armed forces announced targeting Hamas positions inside the Gaza Strip. Thousands were killed, and dozens of thousands of others were injured in the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
The latest statistics by the Ministry of Health in Gaza revealed that the death toll from Israeli brutal pounding on the Gaza Strip since October 7 has soared to 40,139+ people, with more than 92,743+ injuries.
Since then, approximately 85% of Gazans have been displaced, all of whom are suffering from severe food insecurity, and the healthcare system has collapsed. Hundreds of thousands of people lack shelter, and aid trucks are entering the area at a lower rate than before the conflict began.
