British-Israeli hostage Nadav Popplewell was among four people who died during Hamas captivity, the Israeli military said.
The 51-year-old’s body remains in Gaza, it is understood.
He was taken hostage with his mother during the October 7 Hamas attack on their home in Nirim.
On Monday, Israel confirmed the deaths of four hostages, including three elderly men seen in a Hamas video pleading for their release.
The three, Amiram Cooper, Yoram Metzger and Haim Peri, were 80 years old or older.
Israel’s military spokesman, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, said the four men died together in the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis when Israel was operating there.
He said: “We are looking at all options. There are a lot of questions.”
Hamas took around 250 hostages back to Gaza following the attack on Israel on October 7, which also killed around 1,200 people.
More than 100 hostages were released during a ceasefire in November in exchange for Palestinians held by Israel.
Of the approximately 130 remaining in Gaza, around 85 are believed to still be alive.
The Israeli offensive in Gaza has killed more than 36,000 Palestinians, according to the Ministry of Health in Hamas-controlled Gaza.
