Israel’s military says it has recovered the bodies of six hostages murdered by Hamas in southern Gaza over the weekend. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says the terrorists murdered the hostages shortly before a planned rescue operation. The body of 23-year-old U.S. citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin was among those found. Thousands of protesters across Israel reacted by taking to the streets, demanding a hostage and cease-fire deal.
The U.S. military says it killed 15 ISIS terrorists in western Iraq last week, in what U.S. Central Command described as a joint raid with Iraqi security forces. The military says there were no civilian casualties, and that the operation targeted ISIS leaders. Defense officials told multiple media outlets that seven U.S. troops were injured during the raid.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will meet today with the U.S. hostage negotiating team in the White House Situation Room. The White House says the meeting will focus on continuing efforts to reach a deal to release the remaining hostages.
