How many hostages are left in Gaza?

Hindustan Times  

JERUSALEM — Hamas released the remains of three Israeli hostages this week as part of a fragile ceasefire that began in January, but a fourth body handed over was that of Palestinian woman, Israeli officials said. A fourth body that Hamas had said was that of the Bibas children’s mother was also released — but DNA tests showed it was not Shiri Bibas, said Israel’s military. In a statement, Hamas said it would “conduct a thorough review,” suggesting a mix-up of remains might have occurred after Israeli bombing of the area where both the hostages and Palestinians were present. Here are details on the hostages taken on Oct. 7, 2023: Total captured: 251 Hostages freed in exchanges or other deals: 136, of whom 3 died in captivity Hostages still in captivity: 67, of whom Israel has declared 31 to be dead Hostages in captivity who are soldiers: 13, of whom Israel has declared 7 to be dead Bodies of dead hostages retrieved by Israeli troops: 40 Hostages rescued alive: 8 Non-Israelis still in captivity: 5, of whom 2 are believed to still be alive Separately: Three Israelis have been held in Gaza since before the Oct. 7, 2023, attack: the body of one soldier killed in the 2014 war and two civilians who entered Gaza on their own in 2014 and 2015 and are believed to be alive.
