The Israeli military announced the discovery of the body of Yousel Zyada, a 53-year-old Bedouin Arab hostage held in Gaza by Hamas. His body was recovered on Tuesday from an underground tunnel. The military also reported evidence suggesting that another hostage may have been killed.

 

While 205 hostages were released during a week-long ceasefire in November 2023, many remain captive in Gaza. The news of Zyada’s death has heightened concerns among families of other hostages.

Shortly before the announcement, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that the U.S., Qatar, and Egypt were “very close” to achieving progress on hostage negotiations. However, at least 14 Palestinians were killed in an airstrike attributed to Hamas.
