IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari delivered a statement Sunday morning following the recovery of the bodies of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Eden Yerushalmi, Carmel Gat, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarus, and Ori Danino, who were murdered by Hamas after nearly eleven months in captivity.
Hagari stated, "This morning, our hearts are broken alongside the families of Ori Danino, Alex Lobanov, Almog Sarusi, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Carmel Gat, and Eden Yerushalmi, may their memories be a blessing. 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. According to our initial assessment, they were brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists shortly before we reached them."
"They were abducted alive on the morning of October 7th by the Hamas terror organization. Their bodies were found during combat in Rafah in an underground tunnel, approximately one kilometer from the tunnel from which we rescued Farhan al-Qadi a few days ago. Since Farhan’s identification, the forces have been instructed to act with extra caution, even more so than usual, understanding that there might be additional hostages in the area. We did not have information on the exact location of the hostages. Combat was ongoing above ground, and the troops eliminated terrorists even during the battles there yesterday. The troops are still operating in the field at this time," Hagari said.
"Last night, IDF troops located and retrieved the bodies of the hostages from the tunnel and brought them to Israeli territory for further identification. After the process, which was conducted by medical officials and the Lahav 443 Unit of the Israel Police, IDF representatives informed the families," he said.

This is beyond cruel to kill them just before possible freedom.
I’m sure there was much rejoicing at the campus protests lauding the Hamas and Hezbollah Mujaheeden Freedom Fighters.
...Another grievous body-blow against the “Illegitimate, Illegal, Genocidal Zionist Occupational Government”
blah blah blah...
/yes, sarc.
So tragic to have survived this long and then be killed.
DOWN WITH HAMAS.
Meanwhile the “civilized” world is vaccinating Hamas children.
hamas and their gazan enablers are savages ... as far as i’m concerned, the IDF can raze the entire gazan strip and cover it with a layer of salt ...
No quarter
Start shooting all Hamas captures , in groups of ten
Dump their corpses in the Med
Savages. Every Hamas essobee needs to be shot on sight.
Show the bodies and tell the entire world to back the hell off.
We’re saving their children from polio so that they can grow up to be terrorists.
If they love Hamas so much, send them back to the Middle East.
Worse than that, we’re letting the terrorists into our country.
The hammies are like rabid dogs, they must be destroyed.
And the Left will blame Israel for this.
Dims would routinely rape and kill Republicans if they thought they could get away with it.
And to many Republicans would do little about it as long as they got to keep their jobs.
Hamas = pure evil
Hamas is now desperate and panicked. It’s almost over.
The reason for taking hostages was to maintain Hamas control of Gaza. If the IDF won’t negotiate on Hamas terms, the hostages die.
The future of Israel and the total destruction of all that is Hamas transcends the lives of hostages.
Not sane.
“Dump their corpses in the Med”
After covering their bodies with bacon grease.
“’Hamas murdered the 6 hostages shortly before we reached them’”.
By coincidence the one muslim hostage they were holding was not killed.
