Israel says it received remains of 3 hostages from Hamas in Gaza as fragile ceasefire holds


Israel in turn has been releasing the remains of 15 Palestinians for the return of the remains of an Israeli hostage. Only 75 of the 225 Palestinian bodies returned since the ceasefire began have been identified, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which has posted photos of remains in the hope that families will recognize them. It is unclear if the Palestinians returned were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel that sparked the war, died in Israeli custody as detainees or were recovered from Gaza by troops during the war.
