IDF Confirms Deaths of Four Israeli Hostages in Gaza

The Israeli military declared four more hostages, including three elderly men seen in a Hamas video, dead in Gaza, increasing pressure on the Israeli government to accept a U.S. cease-fire proposal. The announcement has sparked large protests in Israel, urging the government to secure the return of remaining hostages. The Israeli leadership, however, remains committed to continuing military operations against Hamas. The deaths were confirmed during recent operations in Khan Younis, although the bodies are still held by Hamas.
