Israeli officials reported the recovery of six hostages' bodies in Gaza, sparking widespread protests. The victims, including Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, were all taken hostage during the October 7th attacks and were found in a tunnel in Rafah. The Israeli military believes they were murdered shortly before their bodies were recovered. This discovery has intensified public outcry and tension as ceasefire discussions have stalled. Hamas blamed Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu for the deaths of the six hostages, accusing Israel of continuing the war to avoid a ceasefire. Israeli security forces continue efforts to rescue the remaining 97 hostages.
