The IDF announced late Saturday night has found more bodies underground in Gaza, likely of Israeli hostages who had been held by Hamas.
Despite rumors on social media of possible identities of the potential hostage bodies, the IDF will not be able to confirm any specifics until the bodies have been returned to Israel and checked by the relevant professional experts, likely later on Sunday.
IDF sources did say that if the bodies are indeed those of hostages, that they were not killed by any recent fight with Hamas in the area since the military did not use force nearby.
Soon after the announcement, the Hostage Forum said in a statement on X/Twitter, “Starting tomorrow the country will tremble” and will “grind to a halt.” They added that “Netanyahu abandoned the hostages: This is now a fact,” but did not provide specific details, saying that those would come in the morning.
Lapid response
Opposition leader Yair Lapid commented on the news and said, “While our sons and daughters are abandoned and die in captivity, Netanyahu is busy spinning the narrative.” He reiterated his previous opinion that the PM is more concerned with the continuity of his coalition than the war or the hostages.
“We will continue to stand by the families and hug and protect them in difficult times,” he added.
The exact location of where the bodies were found remains under gag order.
