The recovery could increase pressure on Israel to reach a deal with Hamas to release dozens of hostages still believed to be alive
This combination of six undated photos shows hostages, from top left, Alex Dancyg, Abraham Munder and Yagev Buchshtab and from bottom left, Yoram Metzger, Haim Peri and Nadav Popplewell, who were held hostage by Hamas militants in Gaza. On Tuesday, Aug. 20, 2024, the Israeli military said its forces recovered their bodies in an overnight operation in southern Gaza, without saying when or how the six died.
The military said it had identified the remains of Chaim Perry, 80; Yoram Metzger, 80; Avraham Munder, 79; Alexander Dancyg, 76; Nadav Popplewell, 51; and Yagev Buchshtav, 35. Metzger, Munder, Popplewell and Buchshtav had family members who were also abducted but freed during a November ceasefire. “The State of Israel will continue to make every effort to return all of our hostages – both alive and dead,” he said in a statement.
Blinken, who is on his ninth visit to the region since the start of the war, said Monday that Netanyahu has accepted a proposal to bridge gaps in the ceasefire talks, which have dragged on for months, and called on Hamas to do the same.
