The bodies of Almog Sarusi, Alex Lubnov, Carmel Gat, Ori Danino, Eden Yerushalmi and Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin were recovered, IDF officials said in a statement.
Pres. Biden spoke with Hersh Goldberg-Polin’s parents, Rachel Goldberg and Jon Polin, on Sunday morning to “offer his condolences for the death of their son at the hands of Hamas,” according to a White House official.
“I have worked tirelessly to bring their beloved Hersh safely to them and am heartbroken by the news of his death,” Biden said in a statement. “It is as tragic as it is reprehensible.”
Meanwhile, in Tel Aviv, thousands of protesters took part in an anti-government rally calling for the release of Israelis held hostage by Palestinian militants. Israel’s national trade union, representing the majority of the country’s unionized workers, announced it will hold a one-day general strike on Monday in an attempt to pressure the Israeli government to agree to a cease-fire and hostage deal.
