Late Saturday evening, we learned the tragic fate of six hostages held by Hamas since the horrific October 7 terror attack in Israel. The hostages, all abducted from the Nova Music Festival and held in captivity since, were murdered by Hamas shortly before the IDF found and recovered their bodies from a tunnel in Rafah.
“Hamas still holds 101 hostages in Gaza, including women, children, and the elderly. We will not stop until every hostage is brought home.”

Among those murdered was American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, whose parents have been fighting tirelessly for his return in the months since the attack.
