JERUSALEM—Israel said early Sunday that it had recovered the bodies of six hostages captured during the Hamas terrorist group’s Oct. 7 attack that ignited the Gaza war, including Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, whose parents had led a high-profile campaign for the captives’ release.

The military said the six were murdered by Hamas shortly before Israeli forces were to rescue them and that the bodies were found in a tunnel beneath the southern Gaza city of Rafah.
