Red Cross joins search for Israeli captive bodies in Gaza

The Red Cross has joined Hamas' armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, to assist the group's search for the bodies of Israeli captives in southern Rafah.

An Israeli government spokesperson said the Red Cross and rescue teams from Egypt have been permitted to go beyond the Yellow Line to search for the captives' bodies.

The Yellow Line, agreed in the ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel, allows Israel to maintain control over 58 percent of the Gaza Strip.
