Hamas says it will hand over one of two last captive bodies in Gaza

Hamas said it was handing over the remains of one of the two last captive bodies still in Gaza on Tuesday, and Israel said it was preparing to receive "findings".

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said in a statement that forensic testing would be done after a transfer via the Red Cross to Israeli forces in Gaza.

The two remaining deceased captives are Israeli police officer Ran Gvili and Thai national Sudthisak Rinthalak, both kidnapped during Hamas' surprise attack on Israel on 7 October 2023.

Earlier on Tuesday, an Israeli air strike killed Palestinian journalist Mahmoud Wadi in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.

Another Palestinian journalist was wounded in the Israeli strike, Palestinian health authorities said.
