Hamas has released the remains of four Israeli hostages as part of a cease-fire deal with Israel. The hostages were kidnapped during an attack in 2023, and their remains have now been handed over. The release followed negotiations after Israel refused to deliver Palestinian prisoners in exchange for the hostages. Israel is expected to free the prisoners once the identities of the returned bodies are confirmed.
