FROM FOX NEWS: Israel identified two of the four deceased hostages whose coffins it received from Hamas via the Red Cross on Monday and gave their causes of death.
“IDF representatives informed the families of Guy Iluz, Bipin Joshi, and two additional deceased hostages, whose names have not yet been cleared for publication by their families, that their loved ones have been brought back for burial,” the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Tuesday.
The IDF said its intelligence indicates that Iluz was kidnapped alive and injured by Hamas after escaping the Nova music festival. He later succumbed to his wounds due to not receiving proper medical treatment, the IDF said. Iluz was 26 at the time of his death.
Joshi, according to the IDF, was kidnapped from Kibbutz Alumim, where he was hiding in a bomb shelter. The IDF said that an assessment revealed Joshi was murdered in captivity during the first months of the war. He was 23 years old.
The IDF announced that definitive conclusions would be made following the completion of an examination by the National Center of Forensic Medicine.
The identities of the remaining two deceased hostages have not yet been released.
