Overview

• Israeli forensics determined that one of the four bodies handed over Tuesday was not a captive, leaving only seven of the 28 agreed dead hostages confirmed returned and 21 still in Gaza.
• Identifications among the latest returns include German‑Israeli soldier Tamir Nimrodi, with families also confirming the deaths of Uriel Baruch and Eitan Levy.
• Following additional handovers, Israel moved to reopen the Rafah crossing for aid deliveries after earlier threats to keep it closed to pressure Hamas.
• Under the exchange formula, Israel transferred 45 deceased Palestinians to Gaza authorities, bringing the total returned to 90 according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
• President Trump warned Hamas to disarm or face forcible disarmament as reports surfaced of Hamas executions and street clashes in areas where Israeli forces pulled back.
