Today, the Israeli military announced that the bodies of three Israeli hostages, who were taken by Hamas during an attack on October 7, have been found in Gaza. The victims include German-Israeli Shani Louk, 28-year-old Amit Buskila, and 56-year-old Itzhak Gelerenter. Military spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari confirmed that all three were killed by Hamas at the Nova music festival, an outdoor dance party near the Gaza border, and their bodies were taken into the Palestinian territory.
