The Israeli Prime Minister says that the bodies of another hostage were recovered from Gaza

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Wednesday that the bodies of two hostages had been recovered from Gaza by the military and the local intelligence agency, The Shin Bet.

Netanyahu said that one form was identified as belonging to Yair Yakov, but the identity of the other was not cleared for publication.

The Israeli army said that the militants of the Palestinian Islamic Group were kidnapped and killed Yakov during October 7, 2023, an attack on southern Israel.

The army said that the gunmen took the partner of Yakov, Miral Tal, and two of his children, or Yael, hostage, but they were released at a later time. Yakov was 59 at the time of his death.

She told the family to the second hostage that recovered her body. Your problem is found in Khan Yunis in southern Gaza.

There are still 53 hostages in Gaza, where less than half is believed to be alive.

The Israeli forces have regained the hostage bodies five so far this month.

Officials say that the air strikes leave 60 people

In Gaza on Wednesday, the Israeli shooting and air strikes were killed at least 60 Palestinians in Gaza, most of them near the relief site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation supported by the United States and Israel.

Medical officials at Shiva and Cures hospitals said at least 25 people were killed and dozens were injured as they approached the Food Distribution Center near the former Jewish settlement of Nizarim before dawn.

The Israeli army, who was in war with Hamas militants since October 2023, said that its forces fired warning bullets overnight towards a group of suspects as they pose a threat to the forces in the Netzarim Pass.

“This is despite the warnings that the area is an active fighting area. The Israeli Defense Army is aware of reports related to injured individuals, the details are under review,” he said.

Later on Wednesday, health officials at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip said that at least 14 people were killed by the Israeli shooting while they were approaching another GHF site in Rafah.

The Foundation said that he was not aware of Wednesday’s incidents, but added that it was working closely with the Israeli authorities to ensure that safe traffic was preserved, and that it was necessary for the Palestinians to follow the close instructions.

“In the end, the solution is more aid, which will lead to more certainty and less urgent among the population,” he said by e -mail in response to Reuters questions.

“There is not yet enough food to feed everyone in need in Gaza. Our current focus is to feed the largest possible number of people safely in the restrictions of a very volatile environment.”

In a statement, GHF said it had distributed 2.5 million meals on Wednesday, which is the largest delivery for one day since operations began, up to more than 16 million meals provided since its operations began in late May.

The Ministry of Health in Gaza says that since then, 163 Palestinians have been killed and more than 1,000 wounded in an attempt to obtain food boxes.

The United Nations condemned the killings and refused to provide aid through the institution, which uses contractors from the private sector with the Israeli military reserve in what they say was a violation of humanitarian standards.

Elsewhere in Gaza on Wednesday, the Ministry of Health told her that at least 11 people were killed by the separate Israeli fire and strikes through the coastal pocket.

The war broke out 20 months ago after the militants led by Hamas seized 251 hostages and killed about 1,200 people on October 7, 2023, says the Israeli authorities, in what was a bloodiest day in the country.

Since then, the military campaign of Israel has killed nearly 55,000 Palestinians, according to the health authorities in Gaza, and has flattened a lot of densely populated tape, which represents a home to more than two million people. Most of the population is vagrant and widespread malnutrition.
