The bodies of three Israeli hostages were rescued from inside the Gaza Strip in a military operation that took over a day, the Israeli army announced on Friday.
Shani Louk, 22, Amit Buskila, 28, and Itzhak Gelerenter, 53, were taken from the Nova festival on October 7 during Hamas’s attack on southern Israel.
Daniel Hagari, the spokesman for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), said the three were found in tunnels that run deep underground across the Gaza Strip, with reports indicating that they were retrieved from northern Gaza during a special operation carried out by Israeli military and security services that began Thursday and took more than a day to complete.
