Israel has received the remains of a hostage from Gaza through the Red Cross, the Prime Minister’s Office said, with the body to be honored in a military ceremony and sent to Tel Aviv’s forensic institute for identification. The person has not been named. The IDF urged patience, saying Hamas must meet the ceasefire terms to return all deceased hostages; al-Qassam Brigades confirmed the transfer. Before this, Hamas had returned 12 of 28 agreed bodies—one misidentified—with the latest identified Sunday as Thai national Sonthaya Oakkharasri, amid tensions over alleged ceasefire violations.
