Israel’s military says it has established the deaths of four more people abducted by Hamas on 7 October.
It says the four were killed while together during an Israeli operation in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, adding that their bodies were still being held by the militants.
The men were named as British-Israeli Nadav Popplewell, 51, Chaim Peri, 79, Yoram Metzger, 80, and Amiram Cooper, 85.
The announcement comes as the US says it has submitted a draft resolution to the UN Security Council supporting the ceasefire plan outlined by President Biden.
The three-phase plan involves an end to the conflict, the release of the hostages and reconstruction of the Palestinian territory.
At least 36,470 people have been killed in Gaza in almost eight months of fighting, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.
