The Israeli military announced that it has recovered a number of bodies from the Gaza Strip. While six bodies have been returned to Israel, their identities have not been confirmed, and it is unclear if they are hostages. The bodies are currently undergoing examination, likely involving DNA testing. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have urged the public not to speculate about the identities of the deceased. US President Joe Biden acknowledged the recovery of the bodies and mentioned that an agreement might be on the horizon. The situation has intensified calls for a ceasefire to facilitate the release of hostages still held in Gaza.
