How Many Hostages Are Left in Gaza?

  • On Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces confirmed that the remains of three Israeli hostages—Yonatan Samerano, Ofra Keidar, and Shay Levinson—were recovered from the Gaza Strip.
  • This recovery followed Hamas' October 7, 2023, cross-border attack that killed about 1,200 people and abducted 251 others, igniting the ongoing war in Gaza.
  • The bodies were retrieved in a joint operation by the IDF and Shin Bet, with forensic identification done at the Abu Kabir institute, and families have been notified.
  • Prime Minister Netanyahu affirmed that the effort to bring back all abductees—both alive and deceased—will persist without pause, highlighting that securing the release of the remaining 50 hostages is essential for achieving full victory.
  • Efforts to secure the release of the remaining abductees continue in parallel with actions targeting Iran, while Israel advances its military operations amid persistent conflict and humanitarian crises in Gaza.
