\n
The Israeli government has said another hostage being held in the Gaza Strip is dead.<\/p>\n
The government made the announcement on the social media platform X, saying his body is still in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n
It said like dozens of others, the man had been kidnapped from Israel by the Palestinian Islamist Hamas movement in a terrorist attack on October 7.<\/p>\n
The deceased\u2019s wife was reportedly murdered during the massacre on October 7 and two of his three children were abducted to the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n
His 13-year-old daughter and 17-year-old son were released in November as part of an agreement between the Israeli government and Hamas.<\/p>\n
Israeli media reported, citing the Be\u2019eri kibbutz where the family lived, that the 49-year-old had already been killed on October 7.<\/p>\n
The forum of hostage relatives also reported that Hamas had brought his body to the Gaza Strip that day.<\/p>\n
Militants from Hamas and other extremist groups had abducted more than 250 people to the Gaza Strip during the attack.<\/p>\n
As part of an agreement, Hamas released 105 hostages during a week-long ceasefire at the end of November.<\/p>\n
In return, Israel released 240 Palestinian prisoners from its jails.<\/p>\n
Several weeks ago, Israel had assumed that less than 100 of the 130 remaining hostages were still alive.<\/p>\n
However, it is now feared that significantly more of them may already be dead.<\/p>\n
