The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have confirmed the death of Itay Chen, a 19-year-old Israeli soldier who was held hostage in Gaza following the October 7 Hamas attacks. Chen, a dual US-Israeli citizen, was among those kidnapped during the attacks and is now confirmed dead, with Hamas still holding onto his body. Reports indicate that there are still 134 hostages in Gaza, with 34 of them confirmed dead, leaving an assumption that 100 hostages are still alive. The situation has drawn international attention, with efforts ongoing to secure the freedom of the remaining hostages.
