What Now for Hostages, Prisoners Swapped by Israel, Hamas?

Hamas freed 20 hostages but delayed returning deceased bodies, with only four handed over by Monday, undermining a ceasefire amid ongoing Israeli attacks, officials said.

  • On Monday, Hamas released 20 living hostages under the ceasefire, but only four bodies have been returned from the 48 hostages originally held in the Gaza Strip.
  • The ceasefire deal took effect under a peace plan proposed by US President Donald Trump and required Hamas to hand over all hostages by noon on Monday.
  • On Tuesday, the Israeli military said soldiers opened fire after people approached troops in northern Gaza, while Palestinian media reported six deaths in northern and southern Gaza.
  • Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz warned, `Any delay or deliberate avoidance will be considered a gross violation of the agreement and will be responded to accordingly,` while Hamas condemned Israeli attacks and urged mediating countries to monitor forces.
  • Experts warned long-term funding is needed to support returned hostages and detainees, with Avi Ohry saying `In rehabilitation medicine, we don't speak about cure but, rather, care` and noting `How much they suffered, how much were interrogated or tortured.
