Israel violates ceasefire by blocking border crossing with Egypt as US confirms Hamas complying with the deal
Hamas has announced it has returned all the deceased Israeli captives it was able to recover, as part of the ongoing ceasefire agreement with Israel.
The statement came as two more bodies were handed over to Israel late on Wednesday via the International Committee of the Red Cross.
In a statement, the Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said it had fulfilled its commitments under the deal.
“The resistance has adhered to the agreement and handed over all the living captives it held, as well as the bodies it was able to access,” the group said.
It added that recovering the remaining bodies “requires significant effort and specialised equipment”.
