Hostage Tragedy: Autopsy Reports Reveal Bullets in Bodies of Six Israeli Hostages

Autopsy reports confirmed bullets were found in the bodies of six Israeli hostages retrieved from Gaza. The Hostage Families Forum criticized the government's failure to secure a deal for their release. U.S. diplomacy efforts continue without breakthrough as Israel and Hamas stick to their demands amid ongoing conflict.

Bullets were discovered in the bodies of six Israeli hostages retrieved from Gaza, according to autopsy reports released by the Hostage Families Forum campaign group on Thursday.

This revelation comes as U.S. President Joe Biden urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to expedite a truce deal with Hamas to ensure the release of remaining hostages held by Palestinian militants.

Of the 109 hostages believed to be in Gaza, about a third are thought to be dead. The Hostage Families Forum criticized the government for failing to secure their loved ones' release, despite multiple rounds of internationally mediated ceasefire talks.
