Israel recovers bodies of 3 hostages. Here's what you should know

From CNN staff

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF)  recovered the bodies of three hostages  in the Gaza Strip, IDF spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a news conference in Tel Aviv Friday. 

The hostages were identified as  Shani Louk , Amit Bouskila, and Itshak Gelernter, Hagari said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed grief over the hostages, saying "the heart breaks for the great loss." Louk's family said they have closure now that her body has been recovered.

Here are other headlines you should know:

Developments on the ground

Hamas' military wing Al Qassam Brigades said a commander was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon's West Bekaa area, near the Syrian border, on Friday.

• Also, the IDF said it carried out an airstrike on "an operations center" in Jenin, in the West Bank, Friday and killed "a significant wanted" militant.

Humanitarian aid

• Trucks carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza began moving ashore Friday via a  temporary pier built by the US  military, according to a statement from US Central Command (CENTCOM). The pier was anchored to a beach in Gaza on Thursday and will be used to funnel aid from various countries into the besieged strip, with most border crossings to the enclave closed and a catastrophic humanitarian disaster unfolding inside.

Official meetings

• US President Joe Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan will travel to Saudi Arabia and Israel over the weekend, according to a US official, as  ceasefire and hostage negotiations have stalled  and Israel continues to threaten to intensify its military operations in Rafah. He will meet Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in their respective countries, according to National Security Council spokesman John Kirby.

Calls from the United Nations

• A panel of UN experts said Friday that the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) was “politically targeted” as it voiced disappointment over some countries not reinstating their funding weeks after an  independent review  cleared the agency.

Doctors leaving Gaza

• Seventeen of the 20 American doctors who were stuck in Gaza after Israel shut the border crossing from Rafah to Egypt have safely departed  the enclave, Kirby said Friday.
• Aid organizations will face challenges getting doctors back into Gaza following the departure of the American doctors, according to sources familiar with the efforts to help the doctors escape.

The wife of a doctor describes her husband's "survivor's guilt" after deciding to leave Gaza

From CNN's Betsy Klein

Dr. Mahmoud Sabha was among the American doctors  who were evacuated after being trapped in Gaza this week after Israel's military offensive in Rafah shuttered a critical border crossing where they were planning to exit.  

Sabha, 39, a Dallas-based doctor who specializes in wound care, was on his second humanitarian trip to Gaza that was supposed to end last Monday. 

His wife, Dr. Samaiya Mushtaq, learned his plans to leave were on hold last Friday afternoon in a voicemail. 

"He said we're not leaving on Monday and I remember listening to it and just responding, 'No - no, no, no,'" she told CNN in a phone interview. 

She described an intensely emotional week amid the uncertainty: "I didn't think this would be morally or legally allowed." 

Three of the American doctors stayed behind on Friday as 17 were able to evacuate. 

Early Friday morning, her husband contacted her to say there was the possibility of an evacuation. He called again when he had reached the border and was in Jerusalem Friday evening eastern time. 

"It's been emotionally complex because there's a lot of guilt," she said of her husband's decision to leave.  "The survivors' guilt is much more pronounced because there's no mission coming after him," she said. 

Still, she said, "I think he'd go back. I think the call to help this incredibly vulnerable population is a humanitarian call. He would go back if there were an opportunity to rebuild the hospital systems." 

IDF says it killed "significant wanted" militant in West Bank

From CNN's Kareem Khadder, Eyad Kourdi and Mohammed Tawfeeq

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said they carried out an airstrike on "an operations center" in Jenin, in the West Bank, on Friday and killed "a significant wanted" militant.

The IDF said in a statement that militant Islam Khamaysa was a senior operative in the Jenin Camp, responsible for numerous attacks in the area.

Al Quds Brigade, the military wing of Islamic Jihad, confirmed the killing of Islam Khamaysa in a statement on Friday, saying he was a leader of the Jenin Brigade.

The Jenin Brigade is a faction affiliated with the wider Islamic Jihad group.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health said eight people were also injured in the airstrike and evacuated to two separate hospitals in the West Bank.

Family of hostage Shani Louk says recovery of her body gives them closure

From CNN's Eliza Talmadge 

The family of Israeli hostage Shani Louk , whose body Israel announced on Friday was recovered from Gaza , said they have closure now that her body has been recovered.

In a statement given to CNN, the family said the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) came to their house on Friday and informed them that they were able to rescue Louk's body from a tunnel in Gaza and bring her back to Israel.

"Every news like this brings us back to the horrific moment we had to find out that our loving daughter was brutally murdered by Hamas on the 7th of October. However, it is also a relief to get the body back and we are now able to bury her close by. It gives us some kind of closure," the family said. "We want to remember Shani as the beautiful and peace-loving person she was, who loved music, dancing and life. She brought us and many other people in the world light and the belief in good. This is how we choose to remember Shani," the statement read.

It will be a challenge to backfill the 17 American doctors who departed Gaza, sources say

From CNN's Kylie Atwood

Aid organizations will face challenges getting doctors back into Gaza following the departure of 17 of the 20 American doctors who were stuck there  after Israel shut the border crossing from Rafah to Egypt.

Sources familiar with the efforts to help the American doctors escape said that backfilling them remains a major concern, largely because the Rafah crossing remains closed after the Israeli military seized it early last week.

Remember: The crossing – when it was operating — was the only entry and exit point for foreign aid workers. Israeli and Egyptian officials have so far failed to reach an agreement on reopening it.

One of the doctors who decided to stay behind is Dr. Adam Hamawy, who helped save Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s life 20 years ago in Iraq, according to a source familiar with the matter. Hamawy traveled to Gaza with the Palestinian American Medical Association and did not feel right leaving without other doctors coming in to take over, the source said. 

Many members of Congress, including Duckworth, are working with the Biden administration to push Israel to do more to get aid and humanitarian workers into Gaza, and to get the protections needed for those workers. Earlier this week, a top USAID official said that Israel was not doing enough to ensure the safety of aid works.

"The deconfliction measures are not where they need to be yet, given the complexity of the environment. So those conversations are ongoing, they need to continue and they need to get to a place where humanitarian aid workers feel safe and secure and able to operate safely. And I don't think we're there yet,” said Sonali Korde, assistant to the administrator of USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance, noting that Gaza is a “very dangerous place to work.”

CNN's Jeremy Diamond and Muhammad Darwish contributed to this story.

Hamas' military wing says commander killed in Israeli airstrike in Lebanon

From CNN's Mohammed Tawfeeq and Eugenia Yosef

Sharhabil Ali Al-Sayyid, also known as "Abu Amr" was killed "after he was targeted by Israeli occupation aircraft," Hamas' military wing Al Qassam Brigades said in a statement.

The Israel Defense Forces ( IDF) confirmed in a statement Friday it killed Al-Sayyid in an airstrike, but described him as "a senior commander of the Jamaa Islamiya" in Lebanon "who cooperated with Hamas against Israel."

The IDF said Al-Sayyid "promoted numerous terror attacks from Lebanon against Israel in the eastern arena recently, as well as in cooperation with Hamas' wing in Lebanon."

17 American doctors who were stuck in Gaza have safely departed, White House says

Seventeen of the 20 American doctors who were stuck in Gaza after Israel shut the border crossing from Rafah to Egypt have safely departed the enclave, said National Security Council spokesman John Kirby on Friday.

“They’re out. There was 20 American doctors, 17 are out now, came out today. And all 17, they wanted to, they wanted to leave — I won't speak for the other three, but just, I can assure you that any of them that wanted to leave are out now,” Kirby said. 

The Americans who made their way out did so with the support of the US Embassy in Jerusalem, said a State Department spokesperson. “We have been in close contact with the groups that these US doctors are part of, and we have been in contact with the families of these US citizens,” the spokesperson added. 

The three American doctors who opted not to depart Gaza did so understanding that the US Embassy may not be able to facilitate their departure in the same manner, the source familiar said. They added that it “was an extremely unique operation.”

The Embassy team traveled to Kerem Shalom crossing to receive the doctors at the border, the source added, without providing details about how the doctors traveled to the border crossing.

Here's where the crossing is located:

UN panel calls for all member states to resume funding UN aid agency for Palestinian refugees

From CNN’s Kareem El Damanhoury and Richard Roth

A panel of UN experts said Friday that the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) was “politically targeted” as it voiced disappointment over some countries not reinstating their funding weeks after an independent review cleared the agency.

“The independent review ordered by the UN Secretary-General, following an increase of allegations since the onset of the military assault on Gaza in October 2023, has shown that the claim that significant numbers of UNRWA employees have ties with ‘terrorist organisations’ remains unsubstantiated,” the experts said in a  statement  on Friday.

Earlier this year, Israel accused at least 12 UNRWA staffers of being involved in Hamas' October 7 attacks and has alleged that about 12% of the agency's 13,000 staffers are members of Hamas or other Palestinian militant groups. Last month, the independent review found that UNRWA’s neutrality must be strengthened and that its facilities were sometimes misused, but noted that Israel did not provide supporting evidence for its allegations.

“UNRWA remains pivotal in providing life-saving humanitarian aid and essential social services, particularly in health and education, to Palestinian refugees in Gaza, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and the West Bank,” the review said, adding that the agency is "irreplaceable and indispensable to Palestinians’ human and economic development.”

As of April 30, funding to UNRWA from nine states was still frozen, according to a UN  statement .

Alabama teen hopes to set state fishing record after reeling in species new to waters.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

A teenager from Alabama who went solo fishing to blow off some steam after his final exams returned to shore with a pending state record for a species that was new to the area.

“It’s not the biggest fish I’ve ever caught,” Gardner Love, 17, an Elberta resident, told Fox News Digital. 

“We catch a lot bigger fish offshore, but I’ve never caught a state record before – so this is definitely one for the books.”

Love caught a 27-inch, 7-pound snook on Tuesday, May 14, while fishing in the brackish waters along Soldier Creek, which leads to Perdido Bay. 

The catch is awaiting official certification by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources – a process that could take up to 15 days.

“I wasn’t really fishing for the snook,” Love said. “I was fishing for whatever it was biting, trout or redfish. The weather was nice. It had been raining for a few days and it was finally starting to clear up, so I thought I’d just take the boat out for a little while because I didn’t have anything else to do.”

Love, who said he’s been fishing since before he could walk, grew up on the Gulf Coast.

Besides being a recreational fisherman, he also works as a deckhand on a sport fishing boat.

“I was back in the back of the creek, and it’s a spot that I normally don’t fish,” Love said.

“It’s like a big grassland back there, a big marsh, and there was a little tree hanging over, right there on the edge of the marsh.”

Casting toward the grass, Love’s lure got snagged in the tree, he said.

“I yanked it, and it fell on the water,” Love said. “As soon as it hit the water, the fish blew up on it through water and into the air. And at first, I thought it was a tarpon. I didn’t think it was a snook at all until I got midway through fighting and it jumped out of the water and I saw it.”

Murky waters, due to all the rain, made it difficult to identify the fish.

“I got up really close and was probably about waist deep in the water,” Love said.

“I didn’t have a net on the boat because I wasn’t expecting to catch anything that big. Usually, I’ll just slip them [into] the boat on the line. But I saw that he was barely hooked when I got him up next to the boat.”

Love said he set down his rod, hopped in the water and grabbed the fish and pulled it into the boat.

“I knew I’d had something right when I hooked up,” he said. 

“As soon as I got the fish in the boat, I called my dad. By the time I got back to the dock, it was only a two-minute ride away — he was already waiting down there for me and he said, ‘You got the state record.’ He was really excited.” 

The young angler and his dad, Len Love, brought the fish to Zeke’s Marina to weigh it on certified scales. 

The snook tipped the scales at 7.04 pounds.

The current official snook record is that of a fish weighing 5 pounds, 2.6 ounces, caught in 2023 by Richard Carver Webb of Orange Beach, Alabama, according to the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

What makes the catch even more interesting is that Love’s fish is only the second record-setting snook in Alabama, Scott Bannon, director of the Marine Resources division of the state’s Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, told Fox News Digital.

That’s because it is a species not native to Alabama.

“We’ve seen a few over the last couple of years show up in that particular area of Baldwin County, which is adjacent to the Alabama-Florida line,” Bannon said. 

“But snook are native to Florida,” Bannon added. “We knew that they were in the Pensacola area and over the last few years, they started showing up in Alabama, mostly juveniles.”

Last January, the department certified a snook (Webb’s fish) as a state record for the first time, Bannon said.

“It was the first common snook that was landed that met the minimum criteria to establish a state record,” he added. 

“We have several rules that you have to follow and one of them is [that] the fish needs to be considered an adult and in the top half of its size class or weight class.”

Bannon explained that as water levels change and water temperatures increase slightly, snook are more at home in Alabama.

Now, what has previously been an unregulated species in the state may soon get more official recognition.

“We don’t have a season on [snook], with a minimum size limit or a possession limit,” Bannon said.

“So, we’re in discussions now about putting something in place.”

Bannon said the upside to the environmental changes that have brought in snook, for example, is that it provides more opportunity for fishermen in the state.

“We look for diversity in our fishing opportunities,” Bannon said. 

“It adds a little excitement to fishing. So, at the end of the day, it’s a good thing. I love to see the quality of fish that people are able to catch in Alabama because that means that we must be doing things correctly to ensure that we have healthy fish stocks and that we provide that access to the public.”

Bannon added that there are “several” record-holders who are kids, and he believes that’s because fishing is a family sport in Alabama.

“Fishing has just always been my favorite thing to do,” Love said. 

“It means a lot to me and everybody down here on the Gulf Coast. I’d definitely like to catch another record fish if I could.”
