Israeli Military Recovers Bodies of 3 Festival-Goers Slain By Hamas
The Israeli army has recovered from a Gaza tunnel the bodies of three hostages who died on Oct. 7 while fleeing the Hamas attack at Israel’s Nova music festival.
The bodies of Shani Louk, 23, Amit Bouskila, 28, and Itshak Gelernter, 57, were recovered and identified by Israeli soldiers, IDF spokesman Daniel Hagari told reporters during a press conference. All three of the hostages were attending the Nova music festival on Oct. 7 when Hamas attacked, and all three were killed while trying to escape the massacre.
“They were celebrating life in the Nova music festival and they were murdered by Hamas,” Hagari said. He added that the bodies had been transferred to medical professionals for forensic examination.
