Red Cross workers assist as fighters of the al-Qassam brigades, the military wing of Hamas, search for the bodies of Israeli hostages in the Shuja’iya district. Israel this week announced that the remains of three soldiers killed by Hamas during its raid into Israel on 7 October 2023 have been handed over by the militant group. The transfer is the latest since the precarious ceasefire in Gaza came into effect just over three weeks ago.
