GAZA STRIP, Palestinian Territories (AFP): Israel's military announced Sunday the discovery of six dead Gaza hostages, as medics in Palestinian territory braced for pauses in fighting for a polio vaccination drive.
The hostages' remains were recovered Saturday "from an underground tunnel in the Rafah area" and formally identified in Israel, a military statement said.
