Israel has returned the bodies of 15 Palestinians to Gaza, fulfilling part of a delicate ceasefire agreement mediated by the United States. This exchange followed the handover of an Israeli hostage's body by militants, one of the last four remaining hostages from the October attack that ignited the ongoing conflict. For each hostage returned, Israel has released the remains of 15 Palestinians, with a total of 330 bodies handed over so far, though only a fraction have been identified due to limited resources. The ceasefire remains fragile, with both sides accusing each other of violating its terms, while further steps in the agreement include plans for international stabilization and political restructuring in Gaza.
