The terror group has stated several times that it cannot locate all the murdered hostages in the strip, stressing as recently as earlier the same evening that it has already handed over all the hostages it could access.
Locating the remaining hostages would require extensive efforts and special equipment, the terror group claimed. The Red Cross received the remains of two deceased hostages from Hamas, the IDF confirmed on Wednesday. On Tuesday, Hamas released the body of a Gazan resident who assisted Israeli forces in locating underground terror tunnels during the war in place of a fallen hostage while delivering four bodies to Israel.
"Hamas released a body that is not that of a fallen soldier. We are clear when we say this: Hamas must return all the fallen hostages; we will not compromise and will spare no effort until all the fallen are returned," the statement read. "Hamas committed to this before President Trump, and all the fallen must come home. Humanitarian aid has never been interrupted. For questions, please contact the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) and the IDF." (Source)
