Israel Returns 45 Palestinian Bodies to Gaza

On Monday, November 3, 2025, Israel returned 45 Palestinian bodies to Gaza, delivered to Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, with the Red Cross facilitating the transfer and raising the total to 270.
Under the ceasefire terms, which took effect on October 10, 2025, Israel agreed to exchange 15 Palestinian bodies for each deceased Israeli, with releases of living hostages included.
Forensic teams identified the three returned remains as hostages seized during the October 7, 2023 attack: Omer Neutra, Oz Daniel and Colonel Assaf Hamami, Israel said.
With only 78 identified, forensic work is hampered by DNA testing kit shortages, while Israel said Hamas delays returns and Hamas said many remains lie beneath Gaza's rubble.
Despite the truce, Gaza's Health Ministry reports more than 68,800 killed, with the ceasefire calming most fighting but strikes near Rafah and Gaza City showing violence continues.
