Bodies of two hostages taken in Hamas’s 7 October attack recovered, Benjamin Netanyahu says – Israel-Gaza war live

Israeli PM says bodies of Judih Weinstein and Gad Haggai returned to Israel after special operationIsraeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday the bodies of two Israelis killed in Hamas’s 7 October 2023 attack and held in Gaza had been returned to Israel.Netanyahu said the remains of Judih Weinstein Haggai and Gad Haggai were recovered and returned to Israel in a special operation by the army and the Shin Bet internal security agency. According to the Associated Press (AP). He said in a statement:Together with all the citizens of Israel, my wife and I extend our heartfelt condolences to the dear families.

A day earlier, the civil defence and the International Committee of the Red Cross said 27 people were killed when Israeli troops opened fire near a GHF site in southern Gaza. The military said the incident was under investigation. Continue reading...
