In a devastating moment for families who had been advocating for the release of their kidnapped relatives, Israel announced Sunday that it had recovered the bodies of two women and four men who had been abducted by Hamas on Oct. 7.

       Ori Danino, Carmel Gat, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi and Eden Yerushalmi were among the estimated 251 taken hostage in the Oct. 7 attacks that also left 1,200 dead in Israel.
