BREAKING: IDF Confirms Deaths of Four More Hostages

The four include Haim Perry, Yoram Metzger, age 80, and Amiram Cooper, age 84 – all from Nir Oz, and Nadav Popplewell, age 51, from Nirim. ...

According to the IDF, they were killed while being held in Gaza, and not on October 7. The circumstances of their death in Hamas captivity remain unknown and are under investigation.

They were killed, according to the IDF, when the Israelis were conducting military operations in the area. It's not clear whether their deaths were the result of IDF operations or whether Hamas killed them in reprisal for attacks, and that won't be clear for a while, probably. Regardless, their deaths are the responsibility of Hamas, who committed war crimes by kidnapping them in the first place and refused to release them.
