Hamas displays coffins of child hostages in Gaza as negotiations continue

Hamas has handed over the bodies of four hostages, including two children, in a public display in Gaza. The event featured propaganda against Israel, with banners and staged elements aimed at blaming the country for their deaths. The Israeli Defense Forces confirmed the transfer of the caskets, which were presented in front of a large crowd. The bodies will be re-coffined and sent for formal identification, while military engineers are checking for any potential traps. This handover comes as negotiations continue for the release of living hostages and further bodies. Six living hostages are expected to be released soon, with discussions for a second phase of negotiations starting this week.
