The family of Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin says he has been killed in the Gaza Strip.
Hersh Goldberg-Polin announced the young man's death early Sunday, ending a relentless campaign by his parents to rescue him that included meetings with world leaders and an address to the Democratic convention last month.
There was no immediate comment from the army, details on the exact circumstances of his death or identities of other bodies recovered. "Hersh, if you can hear us, we love you," said Rachel Goldberg and Jon Polin, the parents of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was abducted by Hamas on Oct. 7. On Aug. 21, his parents addressed a hushed hall at the Democratic National Convention — after sustained applause and chants of “bring him home.”
“I find it so remarkable how nauseating it is every single time,’’ Rachel Goldberg-Polin told The Associated Press in January, ahead of the 100-day-mark. “And it’s good. I don’t want to get used to it. I don’t want anybody to get used to the fact that these people are missing.’’
