The Israeli army has said that it has found the bodies of six people held hostage by Hamas. According to the Israeli army (IDF), the bodies were found in an underground tunnel in the Rafah city of Gaza on Saturday. Hamas took them hostage after the October 7 attack.

The IDF released the names of those who found the bodies and said that five of them were Israeli citizens. They are Carmel Gat, Aden Yerushalmi, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi and Ori Danio . Another one, Goldberg Pollin, is an American citizen .

US President Joe Biden confirmed that Polin was an American citizen and said that her death was "sad and cruel". In a Hamas video, Pauline was seen with her hand cut off. In a statement, Biden called the death tragic and reprehensible and warned that Hamas leaders would pay a heavy price for it.

The IDF said that the hostage whose body was found was brutally murdered by Hamas shortly before they arrived. The bodies found were "returned" to Israeli territory, according to the IDF. "They were taken hostage on October 7 and killed by the Hamas terrorist organization in Gaza," the IDF said.

The Missing Families Forum, a group of missing families, said that if the Israeli government agreed to a ceasefire, the hostages would not have to die prematurely. The forum has asked Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to negotiate a ceasefire for the release of the remaining hostages.

Hamas took 251 hostages after the attack on October 7. 97 of them are still under the control of Hamas. At least 27 of them are estimated to have died.

Nepali student Bipin Joshi is also in the list of people held hostage by Hamas. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been saying that efforts are being made through all possible diplomatic channels for Joshi's release. However, his condition is still unknown.

In the attack on October 7, about 1200 people lost their lives in Israel. 40,530 people have been killed in Gaza in the attack launched by Israel in retaliation.
