6 hostages found with gunshot wounds to head, were killed in last 48 hours — report

The bodies of the six hostages abducted by Hamas on October 7 that were recovered from a tunnel in southern Gaza’s Rafah overnight were found with gunshot wounds to the head and other parts of their bodies, Ynet news reports.

It is believed that the six abductees — Ori Danino, Alex Lobanov, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Almog Sarusi, Eden Yerushalmi, and Carmel Gat — were transported during the course of the war from the north of the Strip to to Rafah in the south, where they were murdered.

The autopsies took place throughout the night, and one of the hostages showed signs of being tied up. Evidence shows that they had been systematically neglected and had not bathed for a long time. Additionally, there were indications of injuries sustained during their kidnapping, which were treated over time.

The autopsies find that they were murdered in the last 48 hours.
