US EditionIsrael returns Palestinian bodies, official says, marking last exchange between Israel and Hamas
The exchange fulfilled the first phase of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire, returning 15 Palestinian bodies after Israel recovered the last Israeli hostage remains.
- On Thursday, Israel transferred the bodies of 15 Palestinians to the Red Cross after recovering the last Israeli hostage, completing the first phase of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire.
- The Braveheart recovery operation examined 250 bodies and identified police officer Ran Gvili by his uniform and shoes, honoring the swap despite Hamas not physically returning the body.
- Haaretz reported the Israeli army adopted the Gaza Health Ministry's count of nearly 70,000 Palestinians killed, while the health ministry said 492 died since the ceasefire and 360 bodies were returned, with about 100 identified by families.
- After an 843-day wait, communities said the return of the final remains closed a painful chapter and cleared the way for the next phase, including the security force and disarming Hamas.
- With the swap complete, the ceasefire calls for a political transition led by a technocratic committee, reopening Rafah soon, and addressing about 9,400 detained Palestinians, the U.N. report found.
