The Israeli military said its troops in Gaza have found the bodies of three Israeli hostages taken by Hamas during its October 7 attack, including German-Israeli Shani Louk.

A photo of the 22-year-old’s body in the back of a truck spread around the world and brought to light the scale of the militants’ attack on communities in southern Israel.
