Egypt and Red Cross Enter Gaza as Hamas Widens Search for Hostage Bodies
- On Sunday, Hamas expanded searches into new Gaza areas for captive bodies, with Khalil al-Hayya saying the group started searching those new areas in the Gaza Strip.
- Under the US-brokered ceasefire reached on October 10, Hamas has returned 15 bodies and 20 living hostages, leaving 13 remaining bodies unreturned, according to Israel and Hamas statements.
- An Egyptian technical convoy brought excavators and bulldozers into Gaza on Saturday, with Israeli approval allowing the non-military team to search beyond the IDF Yellow Line.
- Israeli strikes around Nuseirat wounded four and killed at least 36 Palestinians, and Hamas called the attacks a 'clear violation' accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of sabotaging the ceasefire, while US President Donald Trump is `watching very closely' within a 48-hour pressure window.
- Massive destruction has buried remains deep underground, requiring special equipment and prolonged searches, while roughly 800 tonnes of rubble and over 68,500 Palestinian deaths underscore recovery challenges.
