Hamas has delivered the remains of two more dead hostages to Israel overnight, increasing the overall number of returned bodies to nine, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has said.<\/p>\n

The armed group freed the last 20 remaining living Israeli captives on Monday in exchange for the release of nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, as part of a deal brokered by the US, Qatar, Egypt, and Türkiye. On Tuesday, Hamas delivered seven corpses of dead captives to Israel, although the Jewish state said one of them belonged to a Palestinian.<\/p>\n

The remains that Hamas passed on to Israel via the Red Cross on Wednesday night were brought to a forensic institute in Tel Aviv and identified as Inbar Haiman and Muhammad el-Atrash, the IDF said.<\/p>\n

Haiman was among those killed by Hamas at the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023, with the body of the 27-year-old student from Haifa being abducted to Gaza. She was the last female hostage – dead or alive – being held inside the enclave.<\/p>\n

El-Atrash, 39, who served in the Northern Brigade of the IDF’s Gaza Division, was killed on the same day and his body was also taken by the fighters.<\/p>\n

Hamas claimed that it had fulfilled its part of the deal by releasing all living hostages and delivering the bodies of all deceased captives “that it was able to reach.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“It requires great effort and special equipment to search for”<\/em> the remains of the other 19 dead hostages, the group said. “We are making great efforts to resolve this issue.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The office of Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz insisted that Hamas should release all 28 bodies, otherwise “Israel, in coordination with the US, will resume fighting and act to achieve a total defeat of Hamas, to change the reality in Gaza and achieve all the objectives of the war.”<\/em><\/p>\n
