|November 04, 2025
Israel has announced that the remains of three soldiers killed by Hamas during its raid into Israel on 7 October 2023 have been handed over by the militant group.
The transfer is the latest since the precarious ceasefire in Gaza came into effect just over three weeks ago.
The bodies of the three soldiers, which were taken back to Gaza by Hamas after the 2023 raid, were found on Sunday in a tunnel in the south of the devastated Palestinian territory, Hamas said in a statement.
The remains have been identified by Israeli authorities as those of a colonel, an Israeli-American tank commander and a sergeant.
