Body that Hamas returned to Israel is not of one of the hostages, IDF says

A body Hamas returned to Israel as part of President Trump's ceasefire deal is not that of any of the hostages, the Israel Defense Forces said Wednesday.

A body Hamas returned to Israel as part of President Donald Trump's ceasefire deal is not that of any of the hostages, the Israel Defense Forces said Wednesday, as the already-fragile truce in Gaza faced renewed pressure.

"Following the completion of examinations at the National Institute of Forensic Medicine, the fourth body handed over to Israel by Hamas does not match any of the hostages," the IDF said.

The bodies of Tamir Nimrodi, 20, Eitan Levy, 53, and Uriel Baruch, 35, were part of Hamas' latest return Tuesday, the Hostages Families Forum said, after four other bodies were handed over Monday.
