Did Hamas release more hostage bodies?

Asked 4 hours ago

Answer

Hamas has released more bodies of deceased hostages to Israel, with recent transfers including four additional bodies. However, not all returned bodies have been confirmed as hostages, and at least 19 to 20 hostage bodies remain unrecovered in Gaza. The process is slow due to devastation and difficulties locating remains.
