Hamas on Tuesday handed over the remains of one of the last hostages still standing in Gaza, an international committee said, under the terms of the October ceasefire.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said in a statement that Israeli forces in Gaza had found what it described as “finds” that will be taken to Israel for re-examination in Israel.
The two remaining residents are Israeli police officers led by Gvili and Thai National Sudthisak Rinthalak, both of whom were kidnapped during the Hamas-LED Oct. 7, 2023 they attacked in Israel affecting two wars that destroyed the war in Gaza.
The Geneva-based ICRC acted as an intermediary between the Gaza military groups and Israel throughout the war caused by the attacks on the Palestinian group, facilitating the release of dead bodies and the transfer of remains.
Israeli strike kills journalist: local officials
Earlier, an Israeli airstrike killed a Palestinian man, local health officials identified as freelance journalist Mahmoud Wadi, in Khan Younis in the Southern Gaza strip.
An Israeli military official told Reuters that Wadi had joined Hamas’s October 2023 campaign, revealing the photos. Reuters could not independently verify the official account.
Another Palestinian journalist was injured in an Israeli strike, Gaza authorities said.
Later, the Palestinian Civil Defense service said that Israeli Tanks hit a house in a suburb of Gaza City, killing two people and injuring 15 others.
The Israeli military did not immediately respond to a protester’s request for comment on the incident.
The war in Gaza began after the Hamas-led forces killed 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and took 251 hostages, according to Israel on Oct 7, 2023.
The Gaza Ministry of Health reported on Saturday that the number of people confirmed to have been killed in Israel along the Gaza Strip has passed the 70,000 mark, most of them civilians.
At least 357 have been killed since Oct. 10
Israel has continued to attack Gaza and promote the demolition of Hamas infrastructure since the Oct. 10 Resemire. Hamas and Israel have both accused each other of violating the US-backed deal.
At least 357 Palestinians have been killed since a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect, Gaza health officials said. Palestinian soldiers killed three Israeli soldiers during this time, Israeli authorities said.
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said it has listed 201 journalists and journalists killed in Gaza, Israel and Lebanon, where the war broke out shortly after the 2023 attack.
People’s groups warn that the amount of aid entering Gaza is nowhere near the truce with Israel, and the rains have left many living in damaged settlements.
Among those killed were journalists working for Reuters. The count includes 193 Palestinians killed by Israel in Gaza, six killed by Israel in Lebanon, and two Israelis killed in the October 7 attack.
CPJ said that Israel has never released the results of an official investigation or confronted anyone who reported the killing of journalists by its military.
An Israeli military spokesman said that Israeli forces were targeting only police and soldiers, avoiding civilians and journalists, and warned that they would stay in the war zones despite efforts to reduce casualties.
It has been suspected from time to time, without providing confirmed evidence, that some journalists were killed because of their links to Hamas, which the news organizations have denied.
