Hamas says it has handed over all hostage bodies it can access, with 19 still unaccounted for

# Hamas says it has handed over the remains of all the deceased Israeli hostages that it can reach. Two further bodies were handed over late on Wednesday, after the militant group had already returned the remains of seven of 28 known deceased hostages, along with an eighth body which Israel said was not that of a former hostage. This means 19 are still unaccounted for. Hamas says it needs time and specialised equipment to recover the rest of the deceased from the ruins of Gaza.
