On Thursday, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel had received another coffin containing the remains of a hostage killed in the Gaza Strip. This brought the return of 25 of the 28 Israeli bodies held by Palestinians.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, Israel had previously returned 315 bodies as part of the agreement, of which 91 have been identified.
