JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military said Friday its troops in Gaza found the bodies of three Israeli hostages killed by Hamas during its Oct. 7 attack, including German-Israeli Shani Louk.

A photo of 22-year-old Louk’s twisted body in the back of a pickup truck ricocheted around the world and brought to light the scale of the militants’ attack on communities in southern Israel. The military identified the other two bodies as those of a 28-year-old woman, Amit Buskila, and a 56-year-old man, Itzhak Gelerenter.

All three were killed by Hamas while fleeing the Nova music festival, an outdoor dance party near the Gaza border, where militants killed hundreds of people, military spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said at a news conference.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the deaths “heartbreaking,” saying, “We will return all of our hostages, both the living and the dead.”

1. Hamas claims they don't know how many hostages they hold and how many are still alive.

2. Seeing that video of Gazans spitting on them is infuriating.

And THATS why your shit is getting destroyed; you harbored these animals & supported their actions.

5. Yes, Hamas paraded her half nude body through Gaza City to cheering (and spitting) crowds.

They found her body and the other two victims in a tunnel in Rafah.

3. All of the death in this conflict. It's heartbreaking.

If killing were the answer to anything, peace would dominate this part of the world.

4. And the body count goes up by 3.

If anyone cares enough to count, plenty more under the rubble, and more to come in the next weeks and months.

But it is a good motivation for Bibi to press on.
