Overview
- Health officials in Gaza reported more than 100 people killed in Tuesday’s strikes, while the IDF said it targeted Hamas commanders and later announced a return to enforcing the ceasefire.
- Hamas postponed a planned body handover, accusing Israel of violations, as Israeli authorities say roughly 13 hostage bodies are still believed to be in Gaza.
- Israel said remains handed over were those of Ofir Tzarfati, previously recovered in 2023, and released drone footage it claims shows a staged recovery.
- The International Committee of the Red Cross said its staff were unaware of any staging before the handover and called it unacceptable if a fake recovery occurred.
- Israeli officials reported fire at troops in Rafah and said forces returned fire, as U.S. officials described the truce as fragile but still in place and Egyptian and ICRC teams continued searches for remains.
