Four more hostages kidnapped on October 7 are declared dead by the Israeli military — including three men seen in a Hamas video begging to be released.
Israel i Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has assured hardliners the country retains "the right to return to war" if a proposed ceasefire breaks down.
"It is time to end this cycle of sacrifice and neglect," the group wrote in a statement following the announcement. Mr Cooper was an economist and one of the founders of kibbutz Nir Oz, according to the hostages forum. The news came after an announcement earlier in the day that the body of a presumed hostage, Dolev Yehud, 35, was found in a community near the Gaza border that Hamas militants had attacked on October 7.
