Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, announced that the bodies of three Israeli hostages had been found in the Gaza Strip.
He attested to the fact that the remains of Staff Sgt. Shai Levinson, Ofra Kedar, and Yonatan Samerano were recovered during a military operation on Saturday.
Netanyahu said, “I thank our commanders and fighters for a successful operation, for their determination and courage,” in a communique.
So far this month, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have retrieved the bodies of eight hostages from Gaza.
“The campaign to return the abductees continues continuously and is taking place in parallel with the campaign against Iran,” Netanyahu stated.
“We will not rest until we return all of our abductees home – both the living and the dead.”
