Israeli forces recover bodies of three more hostages in northern Gaza

Israeli forces retrieved the bodies of three October 7 Hamas attack victims in an overnight operation in northern Gaza, the Israeli military said on Friday, further heightening fears for the fate of the remaining hostages held in the Gaza Strip.

Israeli officials identified the three hostages as Hanan Yablonka, 42; Michel Nisenbaum, 59; and Orion Hernandez Radoux, a dual citizen of France and Mexico. According to Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, the Israeli military spokesman, all three were killed in the Hamas-led October 7 attack, and Hamas militants brought their bodies back to Gaza.
