The IDF announced Friday morning it has recovered the bodies of three more hostages in a midnight operation in the northern Gaza Strip.
Hanan Yablonka, 42, Michel Nisenbaum, 59, and Orión Hernández Radoux, 30, were initially believed to be alive, but intelligence discovered amid the war revealed they were killed in the Hamas onslaught and their bodies were taken to Gaza.
Hanan Yablonka, Michel Nisenbaum, and Orion Hernandez were murdered during the October 7 Massacre and were abducted to Gaza by Hamas terrorists.
Their bodies were rescued overnight during a joint IDF and ISA operation in Jabaliya, and brought back to Israel.

Hernández was killed at the Nova music festival alongside his girlfriend Shani Louk, whose body was recovered from Gaza last week, and whose killing became the symbol of the Oct. 7 tragedy after her body was paraded at the back of the van filled with Hamas terrorists and surrounded by rejoicing Gazans.
Yablonka, who was also killed at Nova, was a father of two children from Tel Aviv. He was declared a hostage 90 days after Oct 7.
Nisenbaum, from Sderot, was killed and his body taken to Gaza when he was driving to the Gaza Division's base near Re'im to collect his granddaughter who was staying with his officer son-in-law. As his fate was unknown at the time, Nisenbaum too was declared as having been taken hostage by Hamas alive.
