Bodies of five Israeli hostages recovered from Gaza, army says

Israeli soldiers have recovered the bodies of five hostages from the Gaza Strip, the Israeli armed forces said on Thursday.

The Israeli army said that the bodies were recovered in the south of Gaza on Wednesday and brought to Israel.

Among them is a 56-year-old woman who lived in a kibbutz on the edge of the sealed-off coastal strip, according to the army.

She was killed in the massacre carried out by Palestinian extremist group Hamas and other militants in southern Israel on October 7 and her body was taken to Gaza, it said.

The remaining four bodies are soldiers who were also killed during the October 7 attack. Their bodies had also been taken to Gaza afterwards.
