Israel recovers the remains of 3 hostages from Gaza

The remains of three more hostages held in the Gaza Strip have been recovered, the Israeli military said Sunday, as strikes continued on the Palestinian territory.

The military identified the remains as those of Yonatan Samerano, 21, Ofra Keidar, 70, and Shay Levinson, 19. All three were killed during Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack in Israel that sparked the ongoing war. The Iranian-backed militant group is still holding 50 hostages, however, fewer than 25 are believed to be alive.

The military did not provide any details about the recovery operation.
