A US dual national who was among some 240 people seized during the Oct 7 cross-border attack by Hamas in southern Israel has died in captivity in the Gaza Strip, a group representing hostages’ families said, Reuters reports.

Gadi Haggai, 73, also held Israeli citizenship, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum said. Drawing on various information sources, an Israeli government-appointed committee has been declaring some hostages dead in absentia.
