The Israeli army announced that it has found the bodies of two killed Israeli hostages in the city of Khan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip. One of the hostages, Jair Yaakov, was abducted from the Nir Oz kibbutz and killed by members of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad on October 7. The second hostage, whose name has not yet been disclosed, was also killed during the attack. The operation to find the bodies was carried out by the 36th Division of the IDF based on precise intelligence data. The bodies were transferred to Israel for forensic identification, and the families were informed. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed the news and expressed condolences. This event is part of the broader conflict between Israel and Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip.
