Hamas has stated it will transfer the bodies of three Israeli captives to Israeli authorities, with the handover expected to occur in the southern Gaza Strip. The remains were recovered after coordinated search operations involving the Red Cross, Hamas' armed wing, and the use of heavy equipment allowed into Gaza from Egypt.

Following this handover, eight Israeli captives' bodies are reported to remain in Gaza. The retrieval process has been complicated by ongoing military operations and destruction in the area, and further efforts are expected to be challenging, according to both local and international sources.
