Israel’s military says Hamas has handed over the remains of two more hostages to the Red Cross in Gaza.
Since the ceasefire began on October 10, the remains of 13 hostages have been returned to Israel. After these latest remains arrive in Israel, another 13 still need to be recovered in Gaza and handed over.
On a visit to Israel Tuesday, US Vice President JD Vance urged a “little bit of patience” amid Israeli frustration with Hamas’ pace of returning the hostages.
“Some of these hostages are buried under thousands of pounds of rubble. Some of the hostages, nobody even knows where they are,” Vance said.
Israel is releasing 15 Palestinian bodies for the remains of each dead hostage, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
