Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23. Originally from California, Goldberg-Polin immigrated to Israel with his family as a young child. He was taken at gunpoint by Hamas militants while at the Nova music festival.

In August his parents spoke at the Democratic party convention, where they were greeted by a crowd that chanted: “Bring them home.”

Eden Yerushalmi was in contact with the police and with her sisters after the attack. ‘They’ve caught me,’ were her last words to them.

Carmel Gat had been staying with her parents in kibbutz Be’eri on 7 October, one of the communities hardest hit by the attack. Hamas fighters broke into their home and kidnapped her; her mother was killed in the attack.

Alexander Lobanov’s five-month-old son was born while he was in captivity.

Almog Sarusi was taken hostage as his girlfriend, who was shot, succumbed to her injuries.

Ori Danino had been helping others try to escape when he was abducted.

    I’m having a difficult time believing that Israel jets killed hostages located in an underground tunnel.

      Then you’re as much an idiot as the rest of the morons who take Netanyahu’s word. You can tell me what you think a 2000Lbs bomb would do to a hand-dug tunnel a few meters below the surface.

      Especially one reliant on manual ventilation since there’s little to no electrical power (hmm who did that I wonder?).

      Even if Hamas killed them in cold blood, which is a stupid negotiating tactic by the way, they have infinitely more reasons for doing so considering the reality of most of the prison guards having their entire family lines wiped out by targeted attacks on civilians over 10 months.

      Why?

      You don’t believe all the released hostages who said the thing that scared them most was the Israeli bombing?
