"Office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the two bodies had been received by Israel. The Palestinian group Hamas has handed over two bodies it said were of deceased Israeli captives, a day after the fragile Gaza ceasefire was shattered by a series of deadly Israeli strikes across the besieged enclave. The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday that the two bodies had been received by Israeli forces via the Red Cross in Gaza."
"It later identified the bodies as belonging to Amiram Cooper (also spelled Kuper), who was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Oz, and Sahar Baruch, who was kidnapped from Kibbutz Be'eri, both during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attacks. Israeli authorities said the circumstances of their deaths would be determined once a post-mortem had been carried out at Tel Aviv's Abu Kabir Forensic Institute."
"Under the United States-brokered accord to halt Israel's two-year war on Gaza, Hamas released 20 living captives in exchange for Israel releasing nearly 2,000 Palestinian political prisoners. Israeli forces have also completed a partial withdrawal from urban centres in Gaza. But since the ceasefire took effect on October 10, Israeli attacks have killed dozens of Palestinians across the enclave. From Tuesday into Wednesday, the Health Ministry in Gaza said Israeli attacks killed 104 people, including 46 children and 20 women."

Since the ceasefire took effect on October 10, Israeli attacks have continued and Gaza's Health Ministry reported 104 deaths from Tuesday into Wednesday. Hamas has handed over 15 sets of remains and says it needs equipment to search rubble for more bodies; Israel says handovers have been too slow.
