Hamas-led militants abducted 251 people during the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel. Some hostages died in captivity; others were killed during Israeli military operations in Gaza. In several cases, Israeli authorities said hostages were murdered by their captors. Hostage deaths and the circumstances surrounding them have been confirmed at different times, with families often waiting months for information or the return of remains. By October 2025, Israel had determined that 25 hostages were killed on October 7 or died in captivity, according to contemporaneous reporting.
