JERUSALEM (AP) – The Israeli military has confirmed the deaths of four more hostages held by Hamas — including three older adults seen in a Hamas video begging for their release.
The three men, Amiram Cooper, Yoram Metzger and Haim Peri, were all age 80 or older. They appeared in a video in December released by Hamas under the title, “Don’t let us grow old here.”
