This is the best summary I could come up with:
The bodies of three more hostages who were killed in Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks were recovered from the Gaza Strip, the Israeli military said Friday, as the CIA chief headed to Europe in a bid to revive cease-fire talks and as the top United Nations court prepared to rule on whether Israel must halt its operations in the Palestinian enclave.
Hanan Yablonka, Michel Nisenbaum, and Orion Hernandez were killed on Oct. 7 at the Mefalsim Intersection and their bodies were taken into Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement Friday morning, citing intelligence.
Their remains were recovered in the Jabalia camp in northern Gaza in a joint overnight operation between the IDF and Israel Security Agency that saw “intense combat” carried out in the area, the military said.
It comes as Israeli forces continue to expand operations within the enclave, with the IDF battling Hamas in parts of northern and central Gaza it previously said troops had cleared of militant fighters.
CIA Director William Burns will hold meetings in Europe in the coming days with the head of Israel’s Mossad spy agency and the prime minister of Qatar in the hope of reviving negotiations for a truce deal that would also secure the release of remaining captives, the Israeli official said.
More than 35,000 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the Palestinian enclave’s health ministry, in the months since Israel launched its offensive following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attacks, which marked a major escalation in a decadeslong conflict.
