The Israeli military said Friday it had identified the body of a hostage recovered from a tunnel in southern Gaza as the son of Yosef Al-Ziyadnah, a hostage whose body was recovered earlier this week.

Liri Albag, 19, is one of about 100 hostages believed to remain held in the enclave nearly 15 months after the Hamas-led attacks on Israel.

Hamza Ziyadne, a 22-year-old hostage, has been confirmed dead after his remains were identified by Israel's Abu Kabir Forensic Institute. Ziyadne was abducted on October 7, 2023, along with his father,
