The Israeli military has recovered the bodies of five captives, including a kindergarten teacher and soldiers, in an operation in southern Gaza. The bodies were identified as kindergarten teacher Maya Goren and soldiers Tomer Ahimas, Kiril Brodski, Ravid Aryeh Katz, and Oren Goldin. The bodies were retrieved from Khan Younis, where Israeli forces launched raids this week. The Gaza Government Media Office reported at least 129 Palestinians killed and hundreds wounded in the area after Israel’s recent attack.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed disappointment in Congress about not being able to secure the release of remaining captives, despite intensive efforts. Families of eight US captives in Gaza expressed disappointment in Netanyahu as well, urging him to complete the hostage deal already on the table. The families called for action before it is too late, as the death toll in Israel from the attacks is estimated at 1,139 and many people are still held captive in Gaza.
The ongoing conflict between Israel and Gaza has resulted in significant casualties, with thousands killed and injured on both sides. The families and government officials are calling for swift action to bring an end to the violence and secure the release of captives before more lives are lost.
