The bodies of Hanan Yablonka, Michel Nisenbaum, and Orion Hernandez were found, and their families have been notified. According to the Israeli army, they were killed on the day of the attack at the Mefalsim intersection, and their bodies were taken to Gaza. This development comes less than a week after the army discovered the bodies of three other Israeli hostages who were also killed on October 7.

The attack was carried out by Hamas-led militants, resulting in the deaths of around 1,200 people, primarily civilians. Additionally, approximately 250 individuals were abducted during the same attack. Since then, about half of the hostages have been freed, with most of the releases occurring through swaps for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel during a weeklong cease-fire in November.
