BBC - Israel says bodies of six Gaza hostages recovered

[BBC] Israel says its forces have recovered the bodies of six hostages held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the bodies were located on Saturday in an underground tunnel in the Rafah area of southern Gaza.

The IDF named the hostages as Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi and Master Sgt Ori Danino.

Spokesman Rear Adm Daniel Hagari said an initial assessment was they were "brutally murdered by Hamas terrorists shortly before we reached them".

A senior Hamas official, Izzat al-Rishq, insisted Israel was responsible for their deaths, as it has refused to sign a ceasefire deal.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would not rest until those responsible for their killing are brought to justice.

In a statement, he also said his government was committed to achieving a deal to release those remaining in captivity and protects the country's security.

"Whoever murders hostages - does not want a deal," he added.

A group representing the families of those held hostage in Gaza has demanded that Mr Netanyahu "address the nation and take responsibility for abandoning the hostages".

The Hostages Families Forum said that all six held captive were "murdered in the last few days, after surviving almost 11 months of abuse, torture, and starvation in Hamas captivity".

Find this "senior Hamas official" and kill him, along with anyone else he is associated with.

#3 A senseless and disgusting loss of promising young lives by ruthless, hate filled savages who should be without hesitation, destroyed en masse.

How is this not a holocaust redux ?
