Israel’s chief military spokesperson Daniel Hagari has said forces rescued the bodies of three hostages from the Gaza Strip on Thursday night, Reuters reports.
Hagari identified the three as Shani Louk, Amit Buskila and Yitzhak Gelernter, who he said “were murdered by Hamas while escaping the Nova music festival on October 7 and their bodies were taken into Gaza”.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the military operation and reiterated a pledge to return all the hostages.
“We will bring back all our hostages, whether they are alive or dead,” he said in a statement.
