Our colleagues on the ground report that Hamas and the Red Cross have resumed searching Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood for the body of a deceased Israeli captive.
The bodies of three captives are believed to remain in Gaza. Hamas has already transferred the bodies of 25 out of 28 of the captives sought by Israel at the start of the ceasefire.

Gaza’s Civil Defence, Red Cross to begin recovery of Palestinian bodies on Saturday
Gaza’s Civil Defence and the International Committee of the Red Cross will begin the first phase of recovering bodies buried under rubble in the GazaStrip.
The operation starts on Saturday at 9am (07:00 GMT) in the Barakat al-Waz area of central Gaza’s Maghazi camp, where 64 people have been missing for months following Israeli strikes on residential buildings.
Civil Defence, police forensic teams, Egyptian representatives, and families of the missing will participate in the search, the Civil Defence said in a statement.
Officials said the Red Cross has provided one excavator, though each governorate needs five excavators operating continuously to address the scale of recovery required, it added.

This brings the total number of people killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza today to five, including three in the Bani Suheila area, east of Khan Younis.
