GAZA: Hamas has released the bodies of a woman, her two children and an 83-year-old Israeli man who were taken captive during the October 2023 attack.
The bodies were handed over to the ICRC in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, on Thursday.
A large poster acting as the backdrop on the stage showed Netanyahu with fangs and blood on his face, dripping onto the photos of the four Israelis whose bodies were released.
A spokesperson for the Palestinian group said all four were alive before the “Zionist occupation aircraft deliberately bombed the locations where they were being held”.
The return of the bodies is part of the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel that will also see hundreds of Palestinians released from Israeli jails where a number of them have been kept in detention without any charge or trial.
A Palestinian group said Israel is withholding the remains of at least 665 Palestinians, including several killed in the 1960s and 1970s.
