Israeli military names all 6 captives whose bodies were found in Gaza
The Israeli military has issued a statement on X confirming that the bodies its forces retrieved from Gaza belonged to six captives.
They are Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, Eden Yerushalmi, 24, Ori Danino, 25, Alex Lubnov, 32, Almog Sarusi, 25, and Carmel Gat, 40.
All of them except Gat were taken captive from the Nova music festival in southern Israel on October 7 and their bodies were found in an underground tunnel in Rafah, the military said.
It said all six were “murdered” by Hamas in Gaza. The Times of Israel, citing the Israeli military, also reported that the six were killed about a day or two before they were found.
Kamala Harris condemns Hamas, says it ‘cannot control Gaza’
The US vice president denounced Hamas in a statement after the Israeli military retrieved the bodies of six captives from Gaza, including that of Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin.
She attacked Hamas as an “evil terrorist organization” and said the Palestinian group now has “even more American blood on its hands”.
Harris, who is also the Democratic presidential nominee in the upcoming election, said she strongly condemns Hamas’s continued brutality and urged the entire world to do the same. “The threat Hamas poses to the people of Israel – and American citizens in Israel – must be eliminated and Hamas cannot control Gaza,” she added.
Harris might indeed be even worse than Biden. Boycott the US, the main driver to keep the genocide going.
Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg, parents of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, spoke at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago, Illinois on August 21
Just awful. Yet Biden/Harris had the power and means to save them by forcing Israel into a ceasefire. They chose not to. Instead more stalling with useless ceasefire talk while sending more bombs and letting Israel do what it wants in Rafah.
"The threat Israel/Aipac poses to the people of Gaza – and American citizens in Israel – must be eliminated and Aipac cannot control the USA"
Israel says captives were killed shortly before troops found them
Daniel Hagari, the Israeli military spokesman, told reporters that Hamas fighters “brutally murdered” the six captives whose bodies were found in Rafah “a short while before we reached them”.
“They were abducted alive on the morning of October 7 by the Hamas terror group,” he was quoted as saying by The Times of Israel.
“Their bodies were found during the fighting in Rafah, in a tunnel, about a kilometre away from the tunnel from which we rescued Farhan al-Qadi a few days ago,” he says in a news conference, referring to the Israeli captive who was found alive in Gaza last week.
So reading between the lines, your 'rescue' caused this. You managed to save 1 and killed another 6.
