IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says the military has revised the number of hostages believed to be held in the Gaza Strip as a result of the October 7 Hamas assault to 241, down from the previous 242.
He says the number is not final as the military investigates new information on those missing since October 7.
The number does not include four released hostages and an Israeli soldier who was rescued by the IDF.
Hagari does not specify the new information that led to the figure being adjusted.
