Israel received two bodies from Gaza, transferred via the Red Cross and said by Hamas to be hostages, with identification pending. The delay in returning remains has stoked anger, as last week’s US-brokered ceasefire required all hostages—living and dead—to be released; Hamas says rubble has hindered searches. Israel ordered the Rafah crossing closed until the final remains are returned and the deal is implemented, while the US downplayed talk of a breach. Hamas has returned all 20 living hostages; Israel freed prisoners and detainees. Separately, 11 Palestinians died in a tank-shell incident in Gaza.
