The bodies were found. The IDF and Shin Bet located and retrieved last night (Saturday) from an underground tunnel in the Rafah area the bodies of the hostages Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Hirsch Goldberg-Pollin, Alexander Lubanov, Almog Sarusi, and Staff Sergeant Uri Danino, all of whom were killed.
They were kidnapped on October 7 and murdered by Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Hagar stated in a statement: According to initial estimates, they were brutally killed by Hamas terrorists shortly before IDF forces arrived. They were found in an underground tunnel approximately one kilometer from the tunnel where Farhan Al-Kaid was located last week. A battle took place above the tunnel between IDF forces and the terrorists.
