Netanyahu says remains returned by Hamas are body parts of a hostage previously retrieved in Gaza

Netanyahu said Hamas returned body parts from a previously recovered hostage, violating the U.S.-brokered ceasefire amid ongoing efforts to recover 13 missing bodies.

  • On Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said remains returned by Hamas overnight were body parts of the fallen hostage Ofir Tzarfati recovered in Gaza years ago, calling this a clear violation.
  • Since the truce started, Hamas has handed back the remains of 16 hostages while saying it struggles to locate bodies amid Gaza's vast destruction, and the Egyptian team of experts assists searches.
  • On Monday, 41 unidentified bodies were buried in Deir al-Balah, and 13 bodies of hostages still in Gaza are delaying the next ceasefire stages as the Israeli military confirmed another hostage's remains were returned.
  • Facing public pressure, Israeli leaders are set to consider responses, as the Hostages and Missing Families Forum said, `In light of Hamas' severe breach of the agreement last night... the Israeli government cannot and must not ignore this, and must act decisively against these violations`.
  • Earlier Tuesday, Israeli authorities said they killed three Palestinian militants near Jenin during stepped-up West Bank operations since Oct. 7, 2023, and an airstrike shortly destroyed the cave.
