Hamas has handed over another deceased captive’s body from the Gaza Strip as part of the US-brokered ceasefire agreement with Israel.
Negotiations are under way to allow about 150 Hamas fighters trapped in tunnels in southern Gaza behind Israel’s “yellow line” to hand over their weapons and walk free.
President Donald Trump says he expects a US-coordinated international stabilisation force to be on the ground in Gaza “very soon”, adding that despite repeated Israeli violations, the ceasefire “is working out very well”.
Israel’s defence chief orders the army to “destroy all terror tunnels in Gaza” as air raids and artillery fire pound southern Khan Younis despite the truce.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 68,875 Palestinians and wounded 170,679 since October 2023. A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks and about 200 were taken captive.
