Hamas hands over bodies of 4 more Israeli hostages under Gaza deal: Reports

India Today  

Hamas has handed over four bodies of Israeli hostages to the Red Cross in Gaza, an Israeli security source told news agency Reuters early on Thursday. At around the same time of transferring the bodies, a Red Cross convoy carrying dozens of released Palestinian prisoners left Israel’s Ofer prison, reports said. This handover completes both sides’ obligations under the ceasefire’s first phase, during which Hamas is returning 33 hostages, including eight bodies, in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said earlier that the transfer of bodies would be carried out without a ceremony, as opposed to past Hamas releases with stage-managed events in front of crowds.
