The Israeli army said in a statement that the bodies of the husband and wife were recovered in a special operation from the Khan Younis area in Gaza.
Following the recovery of their bodies, 56 hostages are still held by Hamas, with fewer than half believed to be alive, according to Israeli estimates.

Israel confirms it is arming ‘clans' in Gaza to combat Hamas
Israeli security officials have confirmed that 'clans' in southern Gaza are being armed as a counterweight to Hamas . Former defence minister Avigdor Lieberman, head of the opposition Yisrael Beiteinu party, criticised the development this week in an interview with Kan public radio. 'Israel gave assault rifles and small arms to crime families in Gaza on [prime minister Binyamin] Netanyahu 's orders. I doubt it went through the security cabinet. No one can guarantee these weapons won't eventually be turned against Israel,' he warned, implying that some of the criminal gangs also had links to Islamic State. Israeli officials initially refused to comment on the reports but Mr Netanyahu this week confirmed Mr Lieberman's claim, saying Israel is working to defeat Hamas through various means, as recommended by security chiefs. READ MORE 'On the advice of security officials, we are operating clans in Gaza that oppose Hamas. What is wrong with that? This is only good and it has saved the lives of Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers,' he said. 'Revealing this was only good for Hamas – but Lieberman doesn't care.' Israel has accused Hamas of seizing large quantities of the humanitarian aid that enters Gaza, thus maintaining its control over the population and also providing funds to pay its fighters and recruit new gunmen. Hamas has denied the allegations. At the same time the Israeli leadership has resisted any role for the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority in controlling Gaza and, to undermine Hamas, has turned to local extended-family clans, reportedly connected to crime and drugs. It is believed that hundreds of pistols and Kalashnikov assault rifles, seized from militant groups during the 20-month conflict, were transferred from Israel to Palestinian clans in Gaza. The main clan being supported by Israel operates in the Rafah area of southern Gaza under the leadership of a local Bedouin called Yasser Abu Shabab and has erected camps for displaced war refugees in areas under its control. A number of fatal armed clashes have already occurred between Hamas and the Abu Shabab clan. Mr Abu Shabab has claimed his men operate 'under Palestinian legitimacy' and are trying to protect aid lorries and prevent looting in Rafah to enable displaced residents to return to their homes. He has denied receiving weapons from Israel and allegations that his men have seized aid supplies. Hamas has called on Palestinians to oppose the Israeli-supported militia, accusing Israel of creating chaos in Gaza. [ Gaza Strip: Aid group says all its distribution sites closed after dozens of Palestinians shot dead Opens in new window ] Israeli security officials described the move as a calculated risk, admitting there is no guarantee that the local clans will not open fire at IDF soldiers in the future. 'There is no plan or intent for them to run Rafah on the day after [the war] because they have no such ability and probably also don't want to,' security officials said. 'It's true that their main motivation is financial, but they are still part of the Arab nation, both as Bedouins and also as residents of the Gaza Strip. The decision was not unanimous, particularly because of the risk that the weapons will be used against IDF soldiers in the southern Gaza Strip.' The liberal daily newspaper Ha'aretz, in an apparent reference to past events in Lebanon, warned in an editorial on Friday that Israel does not have a good history when it comes to arming local militias in areas under its control. [ It's in Europe's interest to put sanctions on Israel Opens in new window ] 'Experience teaches that the use of gunmen who don't represent the local public as proxies for the IDF is asking for trouble. These militiamen will be seen as collaborators and will therefore have to use force to repress the population. They may even turn their weapons against the IDF.'

Israeli-backed Gaza aid sites closed as IDF issues evacuation warnings ahead of attack
ISRAELI-BACKED AID group Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has closes its centres in the territory as the Israeli army issued evacuation orders for some parts of Gaza City ahead of an attack. In a statement on Facebook, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said all its sites for aid distribution are closed and that an opening date will be announced on the Facebook page. The so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is an Israeli and US-backed private organisation. The UN and NGOs have refused to cooperate with the GHF, saying the project contravenes humanitarian principles and appears designed to cater to Israeli military objectives. The GHF chief quit his role just before it began operations, citing similar concerns. Last week, one person was killed and another 48 were injured , mostly by Israeli gunfire, at another aid distribution hub run by the GHF. And over the weekend, 31 people were killed by Israeli fire while waiting for food from the GHF near Rafah, according to the civil defence agency. Meanwhile, the Israeli military today issued an evacuation order for residents of parts of Gaza City ahead of an attack. 'This is a final and urgent warning ahead of an impending strike,' army spokesman Avichay Adraee said. The army 'will strike all areas from which rockets are launched.' The evacuation order comes at the beginning of the Eid al-Adha holiday, one of the main religious festivals of the Muslim calendar. Advertisement The Israeli military has recently stepped up its campaign in Gaza in what it says is a renewed push to defeat Hamas, whose October 2023 attack sparked the current war. International calls for a negotiated ceasefire have grown in recent weeks. Hamas's lead negotiator, Khalil al-Hayya said yesterday that the Palestinian Islamist group was ready to enter a new round of talks aimed at sealing a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Talks aimed at brokering a new ceasefire have failed to yield a breakthrough since the last brief truce fell apart in March with the resumption of Israeli operations in Gaza. Israel and Hamas appeared close to an agreement late last month, but a deal proved elusive, with each side accusing the other of scuppering a US-backed proposal. Israel has faced mounting pressure to allow more aid into Gaza, after it imposed a more than two-month blockade that led to widespread shortages of food and other essentials. Hamas's unprecedented attack on Israel resulted in the deaths of 1,218 people, mostly civilians. According to the health ministry in Gaza, at least 4,402 people have been killed since Israel resumed its offensive on 18 March, taking the war's overall toll to 54,677, mostly civilians. - © AFP 2025 Need more information on what is happening in Israel and Palestine?
