What is the story about?
The Israeli military on Wednesday, Oct 15, said that one of the bodies handed over by Hamas as part of the ongoing ceasefire agreement was not that of a hostage held in Gaza, adding further strain to an already fragile truce between the two sides.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) disclosed that forensic examinations conducted at the National Institute of Forensic Medicine confirmed that the "fourth body handed over to Israel by Hamas does not match any of the hostages."
Israel has asked Hamas to fulfil all obligations under the ceasefire, warning that there would be no compromise on the return of remaining hostages.
"Following the completion of examinations at the National Institute of Forensic Medicine, the fourth body handed over to Israel by Hamas does not match any of the hostages," the IDF said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
"Hamas is required to make all necessary efforts to return the deceased hostages," it added.
