Israeli war coverage: Israel Defense Forces identified the dead hostages as Ori Danino, 25; Eden Yerushalmi, 24; Almog Sarusi, 27; and Alexander Lobanov, 33; who were also taken from the music festival. The sixth, Carmel Gat, 40, was abducted from the nearby farming community of Be’eri, according to Israeli forces.
Israel said it recovered the bodies in Gaza. Israeli-American named Hersh Goldberg-Polin was one of the most well-known captives held by Hamas. His parents tried meeting with world leaders and pressed for his release.
Israeli forces say all six had been killed shortly before the arrival of IDF troops. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas will pay.
Lt. Col Nadav Shoshani said the army believed there were hostages in the area but had no specific indication from intelligence.
