Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin has been
confirmed dead, his family announced early Sunday.
Fox News reports that five other Israeli bodies were also
recovered on Saturday.
The report stated that the six victims were shot by their
captors shortly before Israeli Defense Forces arrived, according to the IDF.
“A few hours ago, we informed the families that the bodies
of their loved ones had been located by IDF troops in an underground tunnel in
Rafah,” IDF Spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said in a statement.
“According to our initial assessment, they were brutally
murdered by Hamas terrorists shortly before we reached them,” he added.
Goldberg-Polin, 23, was abducted at a music festival in
southern Israel during Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack against the Jewish State. He lost
part of his left arm to a grenade in the attack.
His body was recovered Saturday in the tunnels under Rafah,
along with five other hostages, after being killed by Hamas.
