- 90 Palestinian bodies returned by Israeli authorities showed signs of torture and execution, including blindfolds, cuffed hands, and head bullet wounds.
- Bodies were exchanged as part of a US-brokered truce, facilitated by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
- Doctors at Nasser hospital reported evidence of beatings and summary executions; bodies were unidentifiable due to lack of documentation.
- Israel Prison Service was referred to for comment on the allegations; the international criminal court is investigating war crimes by both sides.
- Return of bodies has been a stumbling block in ceasefire implementation, with Israel slowing humanitarian aid due to delays in hostage body transfers.
- Hamas claims to have returned all deceased hostage remains it could access, with the Israeli military confirming receipt of two more bodies.
