Gaza war: Three more Israeli hostages' bodies found


The bodies of three more Israeli hostages have been recovered from Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have said.

They are those of Hanan Yablonka, Michel Nisenbaum and Orion Hernandez, it said in a statement.

The IDF said the men’s bodies were recovered from the northern town of Jabalia overnight in a joint operation with Israel’s domestic intelligence agency.

It comes one week after three other hostages’ bodies were retrieved from Gaza.

The dead hostages were among 252 people who were taken captive when Hamas gunmen attacked Israel on 7 October, killing about 1,200 people.

There are about 130 still held in Gaza, Israel says.

Hanan Yablonka, 42, and Orion Hernandez, 32, were abducted from the Nova music festival which was ambushed by the gunmen. More than 360 mainly young people were killed at the festival.

Michel Nisenbaum, 59, was last heard of when he was on his way to get his granddaughter from an army base on the border with Gaza.

Israel relaunched an offensive on Jabalia two weeks ago, months after pulling out, saying Hamas forces had regrouped there.

The attack on 7 October triggered an Israeli military campaign throughout the Gaza Strip with the declared aim of destroying the group and freeing the hostages.

At least 35,800 Palestinians have been killed in the war, according to Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry.
