In a solemn update this Monday, Israel received the body of another hostage from Gaza, handed over by the Red Cross 😔. If confirmed, 12 hostages' remains would still be held in Gaza.
Hamas says the rubble from intense fighting makes it a challenge to locate bodies. The group's armed wing announced earlier that it had recovered one body and returned it in Gaza's territory.
This recovery issue has been a major roadblock to U.S. President Donald Trump's Gaza plan 📜. Israeli officials claim Hamas knows exactly where the bodies are.
To speed up the process, Israel granted access to an Egyptian technical team working alongside the Red Cross. Armed with excavators, trucks, and a mission to find the missing remains, they're digging beyond the so-called "yellow line" in Gaza 🔍.
Families of the hostages are waiting for closure as hopes rest on these teams. We'll keep you posted as the search continues 💔.
