"TEL AVIV — Hamas executed the six hostages recently found dead in Gaza the night before Israeli forces reached the tunnel where they were being held, government officials said Tuesday night.
The victims, including American Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, were killed on the evening of Aug. 29 in Rafah’s Tal Al Sultan neighborhood, the Israel Defense Forces said, citing postmortem examinations of the bodies.
The IDF said it reached the tunnel and made the gruesome discovery on Aug. 30. It's believed two gunmen using two separate weapons killed the half-dozen hostages."
