Hamas has delivered the remains of four hostages murdered in captivity instead of the 28 sets of human remains called for within 72 hours of the ceasefire coming into effect. Media analysts say while Hamas may be unable to locate all remains this number is below the amount which could’ve been expected, and Hamas is using the dead bodies as a bargaining chip.

Israeli health officials say some of the 20 men released were tortured over their two years of captivity.

Factions opposed to Hamas inside Gaza are engaged in firefights with the terrorist organization, according to media reports. Hamas claims it still has 7,000 fighters who have reemerged from hiding after the ceasefire which went into effect four days ago.
