The Israeli military said it has recovered the bodies of six hostages taken by Hamas in the October 7 attack that started the Gaza war.

The recovery came as the United States, Egypt and Qatar are trying to mediate a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas which would see the release of scores of hostages held by the militant group.
