The Israeli military announced the recovery of Itay Svirsky’s body, a hostage taken by Hamas during the October 7 attack. He was confirmed to have been murdered by his captors. The investigation also revealed the deaths of six other hostages in August, likely linked to a prior Israeli airstrike. As negotiations for the release of remaining hostages stall, the Hostage Families Forum calls for urgent action to secure their return, highlighting the ongoing danger faced by those still captive.
