The bodies of at least 250 more Israelis have been found near communities along the Gaza border, according to the Kann news channel.

A military officer in charge of finding and removing bodies of Israelis told journalist Hadas Grinberg that the new victims were discovered after an Israeli Air Force plane flew over the area and provided the location of the dead to medical and security teams.

The bodies, the report says, have not yet been evacuated. Israeli medical and security forces are currently responding.

Separately, Israeli officials announced Thursday that more than 200 people are confirmed to be hostages in Gaza, while between 100-200 more remain missing.

While many of the hostages are in hands of Hamas, others were likely kidnapped by private citizens who “identify with Hamas,” according to Kann.

Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack against Israel left more than 1,400 dead.
