Israel – Hamas: First phase of ceasefire set to end this week

Hamas handed over the bodies of four hostages to the Red Cross early Thursday in exchange for Israel’s release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, days before the first phase of the fragile ceasefire in the Gaza Strip was to end. Israel’s President Isaac Herzog said on X on Thursday that the bodies of the four Israeli hostages Tsachi Idan, Itzhak Elgarat, Ohad Yahalomi and Shlomo Mantzur had been identified.
