"The body of Yair Yaakov, as well as the body of another hostage, who were held hostage for 613 days in Gaza, have been recovered," stated the IDF.

The family of hostage Yair Yaakov urged the government to speed up the process of recovering the remaining 53 hostages as part of their eulogy for Yair.

At least five people have been killed following a Hamas attack on a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) bus transporting over two dozen GHF team members, along with local Palestinians working side-by-side with the US GHF team, the foundation announced Wednesday night.
