Hamas committed to returning bodies of Israeli captives, spokesperson says
Hamas representative Hazem Qassem gave assurances on Thursday that the group remains committed to returning the bodies of all Israeli captives in Gaza, per the ceasefire agreement.
"We are continuing to work on the complete handover of the bodies of the Israeli prisoners, despite the difficulties and obstacles... as quickly as possible," he said.
Hamas has previously said that the scale of destruction in Gaza - and the subsequent losses it incurred among its ranks that were guarding the Israeli captives - meant locating the bodies has taken longer than expected.
