The Israel Defense Forces recovered the bodies of six diseased Israeli hostage on Monday. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, "Overnight our forces returned the bodies of six of our hostages that had been held by the murderous Hamas terrorist organization."

IDF said the bodies of Nadav Popplewell, Yagev Buchshtab, Yoram Metzger, Chaim Peri, Alexander Dancyg, and Avraham Munder were brought back due to IDF's 98th Division.

"The bodies were being held in a tunnel under an area previously designated as part of the Humanitarian Area in Khan Yunis," said IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani.

Zero negotiations now. Play the hardball.

Heartbreaking! I don’t believe any of the hostages are alive. This so so sad.

Special prayers for all the family members and friends. John 16:33

I've assumed the hostages were all murdered.

[billstapleton]

Could it be that the reason that HAMAS refuse to return the hostages is because HAMAS already killed them?

[MrMichaelSir]

Sadly, I believe most of the hostages are no longer alive.

[mattikarosenthal]

So sad but at least there is closure now for the six families.

[tracymartin]

They don’t have many alive that’s why they don’t have cease for.

[RickFrothingham-zbig]

Hamas won't negotiate they don't have anything to offer

[shireecox]

How horrible. Those poor hostages didn’t have much of a chance. May God bless their grieving families.

Praying for these families and for Israel, Hamas spreads terror and the Palestinians are wrong to support them

[dannyjackson]

Israel has the right to defend them selves

[inscop]

Six fewer reasons for Israel to agree to a cease-fire.

[bernadettepergolese]

OMG !!! PRAYING FOR ALL THE FAMILIES ... SO SAD ... :( :( :( ....

[Riskmangler]

All Gazans are complicit in this atrocity. All should be held accountable.

[miltonalmonte]

6 bodies found and no one is saying anything about this

[verah]

Hamas keeps on changing the T&Cs, not Israel.

[kimcollins]

Hamas would not honor a cease fire, look at their history
