Palestinian groups hand over coffin said to contain Gaza hostage's body
Palestinian militants handed over one of the last hostage remains via the Red Cross under a US-brokered ceasefire; Israel has received 25 bodies since October 10, officials said.
- On Tuesday, Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad handed a coffin said to contain an Israeli hostage's remains to the International Committee of the Red Cross, which Israel said took custody and sent it toward IDF forces.
- The ceasefire has prompted periodic returns of remains, with Palestinian militants releasing 25 hostage bodies while three remain in Gaza, and Hamas must return all deceased despite some being buried under rubble.
- At 4:00 p.m., militants handed a coffin to a Red Cross team, and about half an hour later the IDF and Shin Bet confirmed it was in Red Cross custody, while Palestinian Islamic Jihad had confirmed a body was found.
- Israel's prime minister's office said the delay amounted to a ceasefire violation, noting Israel has returned 330 Palestinian bodies and warned it may withhold humanitarian aid or resume operations.
- Three hostages remain unaccounted for more than 25 months after October 7th, while Gaza Health Ministry reports 69,775 killed, 170,863 injured, and 588 bodies recovered since the ceasefire began.
