Hamas says to hand over two hostage bodies this evening

Hamas said it would return the bodies of two more hostages on Tuesday as part of a US-brokered Gaza ceasefire deal with Israel.

The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades said it “will hand over the bodies of two Israeli prisoners that were exhumed today in the Gaza Strip at 9 pm Gaza time (1800 GMT).” Militants have so far handed over 13 of the 28 hostage bodies Hamas had pledged to return under the deal.
