A Hamas militant gestures as people gather around an ambulance carrying a body retrieved from a tunnel in an area north of Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip on October 28, 2025. Israel's military on October 28 accused Hamas of staging its search for the remains of a Gaza hostage body, one of 28 the group had agreed to hand over under a ceasefire deal. Hamas says it is committed to the ceasefire terms, but lacks the equipment needed to locate and excavate hostage bodies potentially buried under buildings collapsed by air strikes.
