Hamas hands over three coffins it says contain bodies of Gaza hostages

On November 2nd, a significant development occurred in the Israel-Hamas crisis as Israel received three coffins from Hamas, believed to contain deceased hostages from Gaza. The handover was facilitated by the Red Cross, and the remains are now being identified in Israel. Despite a US-brokered ceasefire, accusations persist over the pace of hostage returns, with Israel claiming Hamas is too slow and Hamas citing difficulties retrieving bodies from rubble. Tensions remain high, with a recent Israeli air strike killing a man in northern Gaza, according to Hamas, while Israel claims it targeted a militant threatening soldiers. The search for hostages continues amidst the larger conflict, which has claimed over 68,500 lives in Gaza since Israel's military campaign began. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
