United Nations: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called on Sunday for an end to the conflict in the Gaza Strip and the release of those remaining in Hamas captivity after six bodies of hostages were found in tunnels under the city of Rafah.
“Today’s tragic news is a devastating reminder of the need for the unconditional release of all hostages and an end to the nightmare of war in Gaza,” Guterres wrote on X.
Earlier in the day, the Israeli military released the names of six hostages whose bodies were found in the Rafah area of the Gaza Strip. They include Russian citizen Alexander Lobanov and US citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin.
On October 7, 2023, Israel was subjected to an unprecedented rocket attack from the Gaza Strip, followed by an incursion. Hamas fighters opened fire on military and civilian targets, and captured more than 250 hostages. Israel estimates that 1,200 people were killed. UNI/SPUTNIK
