The Israel Defense Forces confirmed that a body handed over by Hamas does not correspond to any of the deceased hostages, prompting calls for further efforts to recover them.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that one of the four bodies surrendered by Hamas does not match any of the deceased hostages. This revelation came after examinations were conducted at the National Institute of Forensic Medicine.
The IDF stated, “Following the completion of examinations, the fourth body handed over to Israel by Hamas does not match any of the hostages.” The military organization emphasized that Hamas is obligated to make all necessary efforts to return the deceased hostages.
All living hostages were released as part of a deal facilitated by former President Donald Trump. In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his relief regarding the return of the hostages but underscored the importance of recovering the bodies of those who did not survive.
Trump wrote, “ALL TWENTY HOSTAGES ARE BACK AND FEELING AS GOOD AS CAN BE EXPECTED. A big burden has been lifted, but the job IS NOT DONE. THE DEAD HAVE NOT BEEN RETURNED, AS PROMISED! Phase Two begins right NOW!!!”
This situation remains fluid, and updates will continue to emerge as more information becomes available.
