Ceasefire Strains at Gaza ‘Yellow Line’ as Israel Confirms Red Cross Return of Three Bodies

Mutual restrictions and distrust are slowing the remains-for-hostage track that underpins the October 10 pause.

Overview

  • Israel said it received the coffins of three deceased hostages via the International Committee of the Red Cross under the October 10 ceasefire framework.
  • A source reported Hamas members entered Shejaiya inside the Israeli‑controlled “Yellow Line” to search for remains, while the IDF said it killed individuals who crossed the line and approached its forces.
  • Israel’s public broadcaster reported that Benjamin Netanyahu is preventing roughly 200 Hamas fighters inside the “Yellow Line” from leaving, tying movement to his demand for the group’s disarmament.
  • Israel’s military justice chief Yifat Tomer Yerushalmi resigned over a leaked detention‑abuse video, was located after a search, and was later detained, intensifying scrutiny of military oversight.
  • Lebanon’s leadership signaled a split as President Joseph Aoun urged negotiations and Hezbollah lawmakers rejected disarmament, while a senior U.S. official pressed the Lebanese Army to implement a disarmament plan.
