Gaza: Hamas hands Red Cross coffins it says contains two hostages' bodies

**Summary:**On October 30th, Hamas handed over two coffins to the Red Cross, claiming they contained the remains of Israeli hostages. Israel confirmed receiving the coffins and transferring them for identification. However, tensions escalated as Israel accused Hamas of violating the Gaza ceasefire and staging the recovery of the remains. The Red Cross expressed concern over the staged event, while Hamas denied Israel's claims. Later that day, Israel said Hamas attacked and killed an Israeli soldier, leading to Israeli air strikes across Gaza and the deadliest day since the ceasefire, with over one hundred Palestinians killed. The current ceasefire deal required Hamas to return twenty living and twenty-eight deceased hostages within seventy-two hours, but accusations, violence, and humanitarian concerns persist, leaving families on both sides in mourning.
