Israel has handed over the bodies of 30 Palestinians to Gaza, the Red Cross and hospital officials said Friday, a day after Palestinian militants returned the remains of two Israeli hostages.

A doctor at Nasser Hospital in the southern city of Khan Younis confirmed receiving the bodies, all unidentified. The International Committee of the Red Cross said its teams facilitated the transfer under the ongoing ceasefire agreement.

Photos from the hospital showed white body bags laid in rows inside the facility’s courtyard. Health workers said identifying the bodies has been difficult due to a lack of DNA testing kits.

Gaza’s Health Ministry said Israel has now returned 225 Palestinian bodies since the ceasefire began. It remains unclear whether those returned were killed in Israel during the Oct. 7, 2023, attack, died in Israeli custody, or were recovered from Gaza by Israeli troops.

In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office confirmed late Thursday that the remains of Sahar Baruch and Amiram Cooper—two hostages taken during Hamas’ Oct. 7 assault—had been returned and identified. Hamas has so far returned 17 hostages’ remains, with 11 more expected under the ceasefire terms.

In Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square, dozens gathered Friday to pray for the return of those still missing. “We cannot give up until everybody, all the bodies, are here,” said Rimona Velner, one of the attendees. “It’s very important to the families and for us to close this circle.”

A senior U.S. official said Israel warned Hamas through mediators on Wednesday that its fighters had 24 hours to leave the so-called yellow zone or face strikes. The deadline passed Thursday evening, after which the official said, “Israel will enforce the ceasefire and engage Hamas targets behind the yellow line.” Hamas did not comment.

Despite the truce, at least one person was killed Friday by Israeli gunfire in northern Gaza, according to Shifa Hospital’s director, Mohamed Abu Selmiya. The Israeli military said troops opened fire after a person approached them “in a threatening manner.”

Meanwhile, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said officials from eight Arab and Muslim countries will meet in Istanbul on Monday to discuss next steps for Gaza. The talks come after a meeting between regional leaders and U.S. President Donald Trump at the United Nations, where a 20-point American plan for an international stabilization force in Gaza was introduced.

The ceasefire, which took effect Oct. 10, aims to wind down the devastating war that began when Hamas-led militants killed about 1,200 people and took 251 hostages in Israel. Since then, Israel’s military offensive has killed more than 68,600 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and fighters.

In the occupied West Bank, violence has also intensified. On Friday, mourners in Silwad buried 15-year-old Yamen Hamed, whom Palestinian officials said was shot dead by Israeli soldiers overnight. His father, Samed Yousef Hamed, said troops blocked ambulances from reaching his wounded son. The army described the teen as a “terrorist,” claiming he appeared to hold an explosive.

The killing marks another in a growing list of Palestinian children shot in the West Bank amid an escalation of Israeli military raids since the Gaza war began.
