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.
