Search Intensifies for Remaining Captive Bodies Amid Gaza’s Ruins

Gaza Herald – Palestinian resistance fighters with Red Cross coordination launched new excavation efforts in Jabalia refugee camp to locate the bodies of the remaining two Israeli captives, digging through massive layers of debris left by months of Israeli bombardment.

Local sources indicate that one body may be handed over soon, signaling attempts by mediators and Palestinian factions to prevent the already-fragile ceasefire from collapsing under mounting political pressure and ongoing Israeli violations.

Israel has warned it will claim Hamas has failed to meet ceasefire obligations if the bodies are not delivered, threatening to derail the second phase of the agreement, including prisoner releases and steps toward a transitional governing body, even as its own actions continue to jeopardize the deal.
