Israeli military found the bodies of three hostages, including German-Israeli Shani Louk, killed by Hamas during an attack near the Gaza border. The victims were attending an outdoor festival when militants struck, killing hundreds. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the deaths “heartbreaking,” vowing to recover all hostages. Hamas’s attack in October left 1,200 dead and 250 abducted, with some released in exchanges. Around 100 hostages remain captive. Netanyahu faces pressure over his handling of the crisis, amid calls to end the conflict or eliminate Hamas. Mediation efforts have seen little progress.
