The Israeli military said Tuesday that it recovered the bodies of six hostages taken in Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack that started the war in Gaza.
Five of the hostages were over 50 years old when they were captured, and three had family members who were released during a weeklong cease-fire in November., as U.S. and Arab mediators tried to advance an agreement to halt the fighting and release scores of other militant-held captives.
Munder's death was confirmed on Tuesday by Kibbutz Nir Oz, the farming community where he was among around 80 residents who were taken captive. It said he died “after enduring months of physical and mental torture.” Israeli authorities had previously determined that the other five were deceased.“The State of Israel will continue to make every effort to return all of our hostages — both alive and dead,” he said in a statement.
