Hamas Delivers Bodies of 4 Israeli Captives
Hamas has handed over the bodies of 4 Israeli captives to Red Cross teams in Gaza as part of the first stage of a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement. The bodies of Tsahi Idan, Ohad Yahalomi, Itzik Elgarat, and Shlomo Mantzur were delivered without a ceremony. This move comes as Israel suspended the release of 641 Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the bodies of the 4 Israelis. Previously, Hamas released 6 Israeli captives as part of the seventh round of a prisoner swap. Despite the release of Israeli captives by Hamas, Israel had suspended the release of Palestinian prisoners. Following negotiations with mediators, Hamas and Israel announced the resolution of the crisis.
