Israeli peace activist held hostage by Hamas: ‘I don’t believe in peace now’
US officials believe that as few as 50 of the 116 hostages held by Hamas in the Gaza Strip are still alive, according to a new report.
The military has also tried to determine the fate of the hostages by tracing DNA found in Hamas’ underground tunnels in the Gaza Strip, Tamir Hayman, former head of Israeli military intelligence Tamir Hayman, said.The estimated number of dead hostages is growing due to the conditions of their captivity combined with the injuries they suffered on Oct. 7, and possible pre-existing health conditions, the Journal reported.
Eight of the remaining hostages are American citizens – including three who were declared dead several months ago, the outlet added.
