Body of hostage recovered from Gaza, says IDF

Israeli forces have recovered the body of one of the hostages from Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has said.

The army confirmed that Ron Benjamin, 53, was found alongside the bodies of three other hostages whose identities were confirmed on Friday.

The 53-year-old had been taking part in a group cycle ride near the Gaza border when the Hamas attack began on 7 October.

About 1,200 people were killed during the unprecedented attack when Hamas gunmen burst into Israel. They took 252 others back to Gaza as hostages.

News of Mr Benjamin’s death comes one day after Israeli authorities confirmed they had recovered the bodies of three other hostages – Shani Louk, Amit Buskila, and Itzhak Gelerenter.
