JERUSALEM, Israel – In a tragic turn of events, Israeli forces have rescued the bodies of six hostages in Gaza, including an American citizen. Meanwhile, a deadly terror attack near Hebron has raised questions about U.S.-funded security training.
Israel Defense Forces Chief Spokesman, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari stated on Sunday, “A few hours ago, we informed the families that the bodies of their loved ones had been located by IDF troops in an underground tunnel in Rafah. According to our initial assessment, they were brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists shortly before we reached them.”
The nation is mourning as six hostages, including American citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, were found murdered in Gaza. Just a few days before this grim discovery, Hersh’s mother Rachel stood at the Gaza border, shouting a blessing to her son: “May God bless you and keep you. May God shine His face upon you and be gracious to you. May God lift up God’s face toward you and may God give you peace and may God bring you home now.”
The brutal killings sparked outrage, and today, protesters are planning a nationwide strike.
Some Israelis blame Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for not being willing to approve a ceasefire deal.
