Israel returns bodies of 15 Palestinians to Gaza as exchanges outlined in fragile ceasefire proceed
The return of 15 Palestinian bodies marks a continuation of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire exchange involving 285 bodies since October, amid ongoing identification challenges.
- On Wednesday, officials at Gaza's largest functioning hospital said 15 Palestinian bodies were returned to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, a day after militants handed over an Israeli soldier's body.
- The U.S.-brokered agreement makes exchanges the central component of the initial phase, with progress contingent on returning all Israeli hostage remains and plans for an international stabilization force.
- Humanitarian agencies say the International Committee of the Red Cross transported 285 bodies since last month's agreement, while Israel exchanges one Israeli hostage for 15 Palestinian bodies amid limited DNA testing kits.
- Despite the exchanges, Israeli officials accuse Hamas of handing over partial remains and staging discoveries, while Hamas says recovering bodies is complicated by devastation in the coastal enclave.
- Gaza's Health Ministry reports more than 68,800 killed since the Hamas-led attack that killed about 1,200 and saw 251 taken hostage.
