Hamas returns bodies of Israeli hostages in Gaza under fragile ceasefire

Hamas has returned the bodies of four Israeli hostages, including members of the Bibas family, marking the first such transfer since the conflict began on October 7, 2023. This occurs under a fragile ceasefire. The handover took place in Khan Younis, Gaza, where Hamas displayed the coffins on stage. Each coffin had a photo of the deceased, and a banner criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The event included mock missiles with a message blaming the U.S. for the deaths. This transfer is part of ongoing negotiations involving living hostages and Palestinian prisoners.
