On Sunday, Israeli military forces and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the recovery of the bodies of three hostages held by Hamas in Gaza since the 2023 attack.

The hostages, civilians Ofra Keidar and Yonatan Samerano, and soldier Shay Levinson, were all killed on October 7, the day of the attack. This development highlights the ongoing hostage crisis, with 50 still held and only 20 suspected to be alive.

The shocking abduction of 21-year-old Samerano by a nun from the U.N.'s Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA was captured on CCTV. The Hamas attack resulted in 1,200 deaths and 251 hostages, prompting a severe Israeli response that displaced millions and worsened a humanitarian crisis.
