Hamas has said the return of the remaining bodies "may take some time" due to the destruction wrought in Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday instructed the country's military to "carry out powerful strikes in Gaza," a statement from his office said, in response to alleged ceasefire violations by Hamas.

Hamas has claimed the Trump administration's "biased stance" toward Israel means the ceasefire will continue to be violated.

Israel received the remains of a deceased hostage whose body was first returned in 2023. There are 13 deceased hostages in Gaza who are set to be returned.

Hamas is in “clear violation” of the Gaza ceasefire agreement after returning remains to Israel that did not belong to any of the 13 hostages still unaccounted for in the enclave, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said Tuesday.

The Israeli prime minister's office says he'll convene generals to discuss "a clear violation" of the U.S.-brokered peace deal by Hamas, and Israel's response.

Netanyahu called the return of body parts a “clear violation” of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement by Hamas.

Minister of National Missions says Israel has effective ways to pressure Hamas to return the bodies of the murdered hostages.

Under the fragile U.S.-brokered ceasefire, reached on Oct. 10, Hamas is expected to return all of the remains of Israeli hostages as soon as possible.
