“ On Sunday night, Hamas handed over the remains of the three dead hostages to the Red Cross, after which the bodies were handed over to Israel for identification. Source: The Times of Israel Details: The Israeli publication notes that if confirmed to be the bodies of the hostages, it would mean eight more dead hostages remain in Gaza. According to The Times of Israel, Hamas has previously handed over remains that did not belong to any of the dead hostages held in the Gaza Strip. According to a statement by Hamas, the bodies of the hostages were found in the tunnel on Sunday morning. In a statement, the group published a photo showing a body bag with the name of the dead hostage, while the names of the other two were not listed. The group handed over the coffins to Red Cross officials in southern Gaza, who then escorted the remains to IDF forces inside Gaza. Upon arrival in Israel, the bodies were taken for forensic examination for identification. Earlier, Hamas handed over the remains of two dead hostages, 84-year-old Amiram Cooper and 25-year-old Sahar Baruch, on Thursday. Both bodies were identified within hours of arriving in Israel and buried on Sunday. Israel has accused Hamas of delaying its demand for the return of all prisoners, as agreed in a ceasefire agreement that took effect on October 10. According to the deal, Hamas had to return all 20 living hostages within 72 hours, as well as all 28 dead hostages it could find within that time—Israel estimated that Hamas did not know the location of only a small number of bodies. While the group complied with the demand to return all 20 hostages alive, it immediately returned only four of the 28 bodies still held in Gaza by the deadline. Later, KhMASA returned another 13 bodies. We will remind: Israel struck Gaza after accusing Hamas of violating the ceasefire. Axios, citing its sources, reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not agree with US President Donald Trump on his decision to resume strikes on the Hamas group in the Gaza Strip, although he initially wanted to do so. On October 28, Israel sent the White House and the CIA a video showing evidence of a staged “search for the bodies of the hostages” as proof that Hamas was violating the agreement, and warned that Israel must respond. Senior officials from the Trump administration responded that, in their opinion, this was not a gross violation of the agreement and asked Israel to refrain from radical measures that would call into question the entire ceasefire agreement, the interlocutor from the US shared. On October 28, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel would resume strikes on the Gaza Strip. This was preceded by a firefight in the city of Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip. Most of that area is under the control of the Israel Defense Forces, but Hamas militants are present in some underground tunnels.”, — write: www.pravda.com.ua
