Israel declares 4 more hostages are dead in Gaza, including 3 older men who appeared in video

The Hindu  

Four more hostages kidnapped on October 7 were declared dead by the Israeli military — including three older adults seen in a Hamas video begging to be released. The announcement on June 3 heightens pressure on the Israeli government to agree to a U.S. cease-fire proposal that could secure the return of the hostages still held in Gaza and end the eight-month war. All four of the men declared dead on June 3 night — Nadav Popplewell, Amiram Cooper, Yoram Metzger and Haim Peri — were kidnapped and taken into Gaza still alive, according to the Hostages Forum, a grassroots group representing the families of the hostages. Nir Oz was among the hardest-hit towns near the border with Gaza during the Hamas attack October 7, when Palestinian militants stormed Israel, killing some 1,200 people and hauling around 250 hostages back to Gaza.
