Tensions have escalated in Israel as anger mounts over Hamas's failure to return the bodies of all deceased hostages, despite an agreement to do so. While all living hostages have been released, only eight bodies have been returned so far, prompting Israel to withhold increased aid to Gaza and keep the Rafah Crossing closed. Families of the victims are expressing deep frustration and grief, calling for more decisive action from both the Israeli government and international mediators. The situation remains fragile, with accusations that Hamas is intentionally withholding bodies to gain leverage, while mediators insist efforts are ongoing to locate the remains amid the devastation in Gaza.
