Israel Says One of Bodies Handed Over by Hamas Is Not a Former Hostage

The Israeli military announced Wednesday that one of the bodies handed over by Hamas during recent prisoner exchanges was not among the hostages previously identified as missing or deceased. Following overnight forensic examinations on four sets of remains returned Tuesday, Israeli medical officials concluded that one “does not match any of the hostages,” the army said in a statement. “Hamas is required to make all necessary efforts to return the deceased hostages,” the military warned, emphasizing that full compliance with the terms of the U.S.-brokered truce was expected. Under the ceasefire agreement mediated by U.S. President Donald Trump, Hamas has so far returned 20 surviving Israeli hostages and eight bodies — six Israelis, one Nepalese, and one whose identity remains unknown. Meanwhile, a hospital in Gaza confirmed that it had received the remains of 45 Palestinians handed back by Israel. […]

Hamas Tightens Gaza Control as Trump Vows to Disarm Group

Hamas has launched a sweeping crackdown across Gaza, executing alleged collaborators and reasserting control over the war-ravaged enclave, even as U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to forcibly disarm the militant group if it refuses to lay down its weapons.
