Who are the six hostages freed from Rafah?

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) found the bodies of six hostages on Saturday from an underground tunnel in the Rafah district of southern Gaza.

The IDF named them Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi, and Master Sgt Ori Danino.

The IDF claims they were "brutally murdered" minutes before their men arrived. Hamas blames Israel for their killings because it refused to sign a cease-fire agreement.
