Who were the 6 hostages whose bodies were recovered in Gaza?

The bodies of six hostages captured after Hamas' attack at the Nova musical festival on Oct. 7 that ignited the war in Gaza were recovered early Sunday by the Israeli military. Among them was Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, whose parents led a high-profile campaign for the captives' release.

The Israeli military said the six – identified as Goldberg-Polin, Eden Yerushalmi, Carmel Gat, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi and Ori Danino – were killed shortly before Israeli forces were to rescue them. Their bodies were found in a tunnel beneath the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

The news sparked calls for mass protests by families of the hostages who said they could have been returned alive in a cease-fire deal.
