Three more bodies of hostages taken by Hamas terrorists during the group's unprecedented Oct. 7 attack on Israel were recovered overnight in Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces said on Friday.
The recovery took place during an operation in Jabalia, a city in northern Gaza.
The hostages were identified by the IDF as 42-year-old Hanan Yablonka, 30-year-old Orión Hernández Radoux and 59-year-old Michel Nisenbaum.
All three were killed near the Mefalsim area in southern Israel on Oct. 7, the IDF said, and were found not far from the location where bodies recovered last week were found.
