Israel is mourning six slain hostages who were kidnapped by Hamas on Oct. 7. On Sunday, Israel announced the recovery of the bodies of four men and two women. Ori Danino, Carmel Gat, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi and Eden Yerushalmi were among the estimated 251 hostages taken in the Hamas attacks.

According to Israel’s Health Ministry, they were killed by close-range gunshots. The recovery of their bodies has prompted widespread outcry for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to work toward the immediate release of the remaining 64 hostages, who are believed to be alive and held in the Gaza Strip, reports The Washington Post.
