Israel Says Three Bodies From Gaza Are Not Hostages as Strikes Threaten Ceasefire

The forensic discrepancy has put the U.S.-brokered truce at risk by eroding trust in the ongoing exchange of remains.

Overview

  • Israel’s Abu Kabir institute determined that three bodies transferred via the ICRC do not match any of the remaining Israeli hostages, according to the prime minister’s office.
  • The Israel Defense Forces carried out new attacks in Gaza near Khan Younis after the finding, with officials warning the already fragile pause in fighting is in jeopardy.
  • Gaza’s Health Ministry reported receiving 30 bodies from Israel through the ICRC, many showing burns, amputations and bindings, bringing the total returned to 225 with only 75 identified by families.
  • Hamas has delivered the remains of 17 of the 28 hostages it agreed to return under the truce, including those of Amiram Cooper and Sahar Baruch confirmed earlier this week, while the latest three bodies did not match hostages.
  • Turkey plans to host regional foreign ministers on Monday to discuss stabilizing the truce, as a UN FAO report finds about 87% of Gaza’s farmland and agricultural infrastructure damaged.
