The mourning family of Goldberg-Polin also confirmed that their son was among those found dead on Saturday in a tunnel beneath the city of Rafah.
Six bodies found in a Gaza tunnel on Saturday were identified as hostages taken by Hamas terrorists, including Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, President Biden confirmed. Goldberg-Polin, 23, was found in a tunnel beneath the Gazan city of Rafah on Saturday, nearly 10 months after his kidnapping during the attack that claimed 1,200 lives.
Israeli military spokesman Daniel Hagari said that the six people were “cruelly murdered by Hamas just a short before we got to them.” Biden also confirmed in a statement that Goldberg-Polin was “killed.” According to Axios, Israeli officials said that it took “many hours” to identify the remains of the three men and three women that were recovered.

“I am devastated and outraged”, Biden said in a statement. “Hersh was among the innocents brutally attacked while attending a music festival for peace in Israel on October 7. He lost his arm helping friends and strangers during Hamas’ savage massacre”, he continued.
“Make no mistake, Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes.
