Israeli military retrieves bodies of 6 hostages from Gaza

Israel retrieved the bodies of six hostages from the Gaza Strip, the military said Tuesday, as negotiations continued in an effort to bring back more than 100 captives who remain in the besieged Palestinian enclave. Israel’s chief military spokesman Daniel Hagari said that Israel was determined to bring home all the hostages — both “those alive to rehabilitate and those dead to bury.” Meanwhile, the families of some of the Israeli hostages whose dead bodies were returned spoke out after receiving the news.
