‘We will return all hostages,’ Netanyahu promises after three found killed
Netanyahu says he and his wife are grieving the news that the bodies of three captives killed on October 7 have been found in Gaza. He also congratulated soldiers for “determined action” to bring their bodies home.
“We will return all hostages, living and dead alike,” he said in a statement.
The Israeli military said the three were killed by Hamas while fleeing the Supernova music festival in southern Israel and their bodies were taken into Gaza.
