Body of Israeli captive en route to Israeli military in Gaza

The Israeli military says the Red Cross has received the body of a deceased captive and is on the way to return it.

“According to information provided by the Red Cross, a coffin of a deceased hostage has been transferred into its custody and is on the way to [Israeli] troops in Gaza,” the army said in a post on X.

Hamas has now returned the remains of 16 of the 28 deceased captives – along with 20 living ones – since a US-brokered ceasefire took effect on October 10.

Israel is still awaiting the return of 12 more bodies before moving to phase two of the US-brokered truce agreement. The recovery and handover of bodies of captives’ remains has been one of the obstacles to President Trump’s Gaza peace plan.

Israel army chief: War on Gaza to continue until dead captives returned

Israel’s top military officer says the Gaza conflict will persist until the remains of all captives are received.

Army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir told commanders the military’s objectives remain incomplete while bodies of fallen captives remain in Gaza, The Times of Israel reported.

“The war is not yet over. We must complete our sacred mission,” Zamir said.

His comments underscored the fragility of the US-brokered truce with Hamas and came during a gathering of the army’s senior leadership.



How do you find anything in that...

So much for Trump claiming the war is over.
