According to media reports, five of the men were between 35 and 80 years old.
Several had already previously been declared dead by the army.
The report said that they were all alive when they were abducted.
According to Israel’s count, the Palestinian militant organisation Hamas still holds 109 hostages, many of whom are likely no longer alive.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is currently trying to broker an agreement for a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict and the release of the hostages.
Israel has accepted a U.S.-supported proposal to bridge differences between Israel and Hamas, Blinken said on Monday.
Hamas, however, has not yet agreed to it.
Hamas and other Palestinian militants abducted a total of 253 people from Israel into Gaza on Oct. 7.
Some of them were freed through a prisoner exchange, and a few hostages were able to be rescued by the Israeli army albeit at high cost.
The Israeli army albeit did that to the Palestinian civilian population during these military operations, for which Israel has faced international criticism.
