Mr. Samerano, 21, whose body was one of the three recovered by Israeli soldiers, had been attending the Tribe of Nova music festival near the border with Gaza when Hamas militants attacked.

Israel said Sunday that it has recovered the bodies of three more hostages taken in Hamas' Oct. 7 attack that ignited the ongoing 20-month war in the Gaza Strip.

Authorities suggest Travis Decker, wanted for allegedly killing his three daughters, may no longer be alive as search efforts continue with cadaver dogs and a $20,000 reward.

Israel recovered the bodies of three hostages held by Hamas since the October 2023 attack, identified as Ofra Keidar, Yonatan Samerano, and Shay Levinson, during a special operation in Gaza.
