American man, 23, kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 is among six hostages found 'murdered'
- Hersh Goldberg-Polin was among three men and three women whose bodies were recovered Saturday
A US citizen kidnapped by Hamas during the October 7 massacre is among six hostages found murdered in Gaza, an Israeli official said.
The body of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, was recovered from a tunnel under the Gazan city of Rafah on Saturday, 10 months after his abduction during the atrocity that killed 1,200.
Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said the six were 'cruelly murdered by Hamas just a short time before we got to them.' And Biden said Goldberg-Polin had been 'killed' in a statement condemning Hamas.
Israeli officials said it took 'many hours' to identify the remains of the three men and three women recovered, Axios reported.
The others whose bodies were found are Eden Yerushalmi, 24, Carmel Gat, 39, Almog Sarusi, 26, Alex Lubnov, 26, and Ori Danino, 25.
Five of those who were recovered had been attending the Nova music festival when Hamas terrorists began slaughtering festivalgoers, while taking others hostage. Gat was at her family kibbutz when she was captured.
Goldberg-Polin lost his arm when a grenade exploded during the carnage.
