Israel returns 45 bodies during truce

Israel on Monday returned 45 Palestinian bodies to Gaza, officials said, a day after Hamas handed over the remains of three Israeli soldiers under a U.S.-brokered ceasefire. Since the Oct. 10 truce, militants have released 20 hostages’ remains and Israel has returned 270 Palestinian bodies. Gaza’s Health Ministry says only about 75 have been identified amid limited DNA capacity. The soldiers were named as Capt. Omer Neutra, Staff Sgt. Oz Daniel and Col. Assaf Hamami. Separately, Israel arrested two former military legal officials, amid an aid push and plans for a child vaccination campaign in Gaza.
