Israel’s military said it had located a number of bodies in the Gaza Strip, opening the possibility that some of the roughly 100 hostages still held there had been found dead.
Daniel Hagari, spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces, said in a post on X that troops were working to “extract and identify” the remains, a process that would take several hours. He asked the public not to speculate about their identities.
