The Israeli military reported that one of the four bodies handed over by Hamas was not a hostage, intensifying tensions around the ongoing ceasefire. Forensic experts in Gaza have begun the process of identifying 45 Palestinian bodies returned by Israel, with uncertainty surrounding their origins and circumstances of death. Humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza resumed after a brief halt, with hundreds of trucks carrying essential supplies entering the region, though disputes persist over the pace and volume of aid. The European Union has announced readiness to deploy its humanitarian mission at the Rafah border crossing if conditions improve, while calls grow for transparency regarding the fate of missing Palestinians and the identification of returned bodies.
