Overview

• Israeli authorities identified the remains of Inbar Hayman and Sgt. Mohamad al Atrash among bodies handed over overnight.
• Forensic tests earlier found one body delivered by Hamas did not match any known Israeli hostage, fueling mistrust over the exchange.
• Hamas says it has returned all remains it could reach and argues further recovery requires heavy equipment to sift Gaza’s vast rubble.
• Israel has reduced or delayed humanitarian shipments and kept Rafah’s full reopening uncertain, as the UN and Red Cross press for more crossings and higher aid volumes.
• Hamas is reasserting control with public executions and clashes with rival factions, while Israel’s defense minister and President Trump warn combat could restart if commitments are not met.
