# The Israeli military says that one of the bodies handed over by Hamas as part of an exchange for Palestinian prisoners was not a former hostage. After overnight forensic tests on four bodies returned on Tuesday, the army said medical officials concluded that one does not match any of the hostages. Since Monday, under a ceasefire agreement brokered by US President Donald Trump, Hamas has handed back 20 surviving Israeli hostages and eight bodies, inclusing one Nepalese, six Israelis and a now unidentified eighth.
