Protests erupted in Tel Aviv on Sunday night in response to the death of six Israeli hostages. The bodies of the six hostages taken by Hamas have been recovered from Gaza on Saturday, according to the Israel Defence Forces.

The Israeli army said the bodies were recovered from a tunnel in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, around half a mile from where another hostage, Qaid Farhan Alkadi, 52, was rescued alive last week.

All six were abducted by Hamas on October 7, Ms Gat from the farming community of Be'eri and the others from a nearby music festival.

Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, the Israeli military spokesperson, said on Sunday that "they were cruelly murdered shortly before we were to rescue them".

Rachel Johnson speaks to Alistair Bunkall, Sky News’ Middle East Correspondent, based in Tel Aviv. He tells her that ‘everybody in Israel knows who the hostages are and what their lives were like before they were taken on October 7th.’
