Hamas has transferred four bodies to the Red Cross, according to an Israeli security official. Israel is expected to release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange, marking the final phase of a ceasefire deal established last month. Footage shows Palestinian prisoners arriving in Ramallah, but the exact number released is unclear. Israel plans to identify the bodies before proceeding with the prisoner release, following a previous mix-up involving a hostage's remains. The latest transfer was conducted privately, avoiding public ceremonies. Among the Palestinian prisoners set for release is Nael Barghouti, the longest-serving political prisoner, along with others serving long sentences.
