Remains of apparent hostage to be ID'd after Israeli troops retrieve casket from Gaza

Israeli troops have received the remains of an apparent hostage from Hamas via the Red Cross, with the body now undergoing identification in Tel Aviv. The transfer follows claims by Hamas that it has returned all the deceased captives it could find, though Israeli officials believe more bodies remain in Gaza. Tensions persist over the pace of these returns, with Israel accusing Hamas of withholding bodies and Hamas citing difficulties due to destruction in the area. Meanwhile, international efforts continue, including a Turkish search-and-rescue team awaiting entry to Gaza and diplomatic moves to advance the ceasefire agreement and reconstruction efforts. Recent incidents in Gaza have seen deadly clashes and civilian casualties as boundaries and terms of the ceasefire are enforced.
