Israeli military says one of the bodies handed over by Hamas is not that of a hostage
- The IDF announced Wednesday that three of four bodies handed over by Hamas were identified as Israeli hostages, while forensic tests found the fourth is a Palestinian from Gaza.
- Hamas handed over remains in phases, releasing four on Monday and four more late on Tuesday to ease pressure on the fragile ceasefire under the U.S.-proposed ceasefire deadline that expired Monday.
- Forensic experts verified the identities of Tamir Nimrodi, 18, Uriel Baruch, 35, and Eitan Levy, 53, while vehicles transporting the remains arrived at the National Center for Forensic Medicine in Tel Aviv.
- Families of the hostages expressed dismay that so few of the 28 deceased hostages have been returned, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanded Hamas fulfill ceasefire terms and Israel's defence minister Israel Katz warned forces would target anyone approaching deployment lines.
- Hamas and the Red Cross said Gaza's destruction and Israeli control complicate recoveries, while Hamas says it is working to return bodies and 21 hostages remain held.
