Egypt and Red Cross join search for hostage bodies in Gaza
AI Summary
Egyptian and International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) teams have been permitted by Israeli authorities to search for bodies of deceased hostages from the October 7 attacks in Gaza beyond the "yellow line" area controlled by Israel's Defense Forces. Hamas has transferred 15 out of 28 deceased hostage bodies under a US-brokered ceasefire deal and is now coordinating with Egyptian authorities. The ICRC typically handles the transfer of captives, both living and deceased, from Hamas to Israeli forces. This marks the first time Egyptian excavation teams have entered Gaza for such purposes since Israel withdrew to the "yellow line" as part of the ceasefire agreement.
