hostages - Army: Five bodies of Israeli hostages recovered from Gaza
Israeli soldiers have recovered the bodies of five hostages in the Gaza Strip. Among them is a 56-year-old resident of a kibbutz on the border of the restricted coastal strip, the army announced. She was reportedly killed during the Islamic Hamas' massacre on October 7 last year and her body was then abducted. The other bodies were of soldiers who fell in combat against terrorists that day and whose bodies were also abducted. Their bodies were recovered and brought to Israel on Wednesday in the southern Gaza.
The Gaza Strip, a region often plagued by conflicts between Israel and Palestinian territories, served as the location where the recovered hostages were found. The Palestinian militant group, Islamic Hamas, is known for their involvement in numerous conflicts within the region. The recovery of the hostages and fallen soldiers brought renewed tension to Tel Aviv, the bustling heart of Israel, as the city braced for potential repercussions from this recent war in the Gaza Strip.
