Israeli forces recovered the remains of three Israeli hostages during an operation in Gaza last night, the Israeli military said today, but officials did not say where they were found. The three were taken captive by Hamas as they fled a music festival during the Oct. 7 attack.
The Israeli military spokesman identified them as Amit Buskila, Shani Louk and Yitzhak Gelernter. The recovery of the remains highlighted a growing anxiety over how many hostages are still alive after seven months of war. Roughly 125 living and dead hostages remain in Gaza, including several U.S. citizens, according to the Israeli authorities.
Separately, trucks of humanitarian aid began moving ashore into Gaza today through a temporary pier built by the U.S. military.
But the aid shipment falls far short of what humanitarian groups said was needed to meet the staggering levels of hunger and deprivation in Gaza. This is how the pier works.
