Overview

• Israel confirmed that two bodies transferred via the International Committee of the Red Cross were identified as Inbar Hayman and Mohammad al‑Atrash.
• Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Israel will resume fighting if Hamas fails to meet the U.S.-brokered requirement to return all hostages, living and dead, within 72 hours.
• Hamas said it delivered all living captives and the bodies it could access, asserting that further recovery requires extensive excavation and specialized equipment.
• The United Nations urged Israel to open all Gaza crossings to humanitarian aid, as the Rafah gate remained closed and most shipments continued through Kerem Shalom.
• Hamas moved to reassert internal control with a newly deployed security force, with videos showing public executions in Gaza City, while U.S. officials floated incentives and Turkish experts to help locate additional remains.
