On October 13 Israel charged Hamas with violating ceasefire conditions after the group handed over only four hostage bodies for the agreed 28.

Under the seventh‑day ceasefire in Gaza, Hamas was to hand over the bodies of 28 deceased hostages. To date, it has provided only four sets of remains to Israel via the Red Cross.
