Biden says body of ********-********* ******** among 6 recovered in Gaza

US President Joe Biden said Saturday that the body of ********-********* ******** Hersh Goldberg-Polin was among six recovered in Gaza by ******** forces.

“Earlier today, in a tunnel under the city of Rafah, ******** forces recovered six bodies of hostages held by ******,” Biden said in a statement.

“We have now confirmed that one of the hostages… was an ********* citizen, Hersh Goldberg-Polin,” the president added.

The 23-year-old was among 251 hostages seized during the October 7 ******* on southern ******* by ************ militants.

Around 100 hostages remain in captivity, dozens of whom the ******** military says are *****.

The parents of Goldberg-Polin, who was abducted from the Supernova music festival, addressed delegates at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago last month.

On Thursday, the couple joined other relatives of hostages rallying near the Gaza border.

“Hersh! It’s Mom… I love you, stay strong, survive,” Rachel Goldberg-Polin shouted into a microphone.

Her son had hidden in a ***** shelter with other people on October 7 but it was surrounded by gunmen, who attacked it with grenades.

A ****** video from the day showed him being loaded onto a pick-up truck with part of his left arm, which was blown off in the *******, missing.

He appeared in a proof-of-life video released by ****** on April 24 in which he said the captives were living “in *****”. His left arm had been amputated below the elbow.

******’s October 7 ******* resulted in the deaths of 1,199 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on ******** official figures.

*******’s retaliatory military campaign has ******* at least 40,691 people in Gaza, according to the territory’s health ministry. The UN rights office says most of the ***** are women and children.
