Itay Svirsky , 38 , was kidnapped from Kibbutz Be'eri during Hamas ’s 7 October 2023 attack on Israel .

Hamas said in January that he and another hostage, Yossi Sharabi , 53 , had been killed by Israeli air strikes.

Earlier, the military said an investigation had concluded that the most plausible explanation for the deaths of six other hostages found dead in a tunnel in Gaza in August was that they were shot by Hamas "close" to the time of an Israeli air strike.

Local media said four of the dead were children and that the strike had targeted a queue outside a bakery. The Israeli military said it had struck a “terrorist target” in Nuseirat , without giving any details, according to the Associated Press ..
