Palestinian militants return remains of two hostages amid Gaza ceasefire.
Palestinian militants have handed over the remains of two hostages, Sahar Baruch and Amiram Cooper, to the Red Cross amid a fragile ceasefire in Gaza, marking an ongoing exchange of hostages and remains since October 7, 2023. Despite the ceasefire, Israeli military strikes have continued, injuring at least 40 in southern Gaza as tensions escalate over Hamas’s alleged violations of the agreement. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned of serious repercussions should Hamas persist in breaching the ceasefire, emphasizing Israel’s commitment to disarmament in Gaza. This situation underscores the complex dynamics of ongoing hostilities, where humanitarian exchanges are entangled with military actions, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable peace efforts in the region.
