Hamas said Wednesday it has handed back to Israel the remains of all the deceased captives that it can reach, and that it will need special recovery equipment to reach more bodies promised under a ceasefire deal.
Red Crescent vehicles and refrigerated trucks are parked at the Nasser hospital in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip after transporting the bodies of Palestinians that had been in Israeli custody. AFP
"The Resistance has fulfilled its commitment to the agreement by handing over all living Israeli prisoners in its custody, as well as the corpses it could access," the Palestinian movement's armed wing said in a statement on social media.
"As for the remaining corpses, it requires extensive efforts and special equipment for their retrieval and extraction. We are exerting great effort to close this file."
