Egypt will send a special team to the Gaza Strip to help search for the bodies of dead Israeli hostages. According to its sources, the necessary equipment will be sent to the enclave, while no new details have yet been given.
On the morning of October 13, the Palestinian movement Hamas and its allies, in accordance with the Gaza ceasefire agreement, released the remaining 20 Israeli hostages. That evening, the first four coffins containing the remains of the hostages were handed over to the Israeli side through the International Committee of the Red Cross.
Israeli authorities expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that only four of the 28 bodies had been returned in the first phase of the return of the remains. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz called it a deviation from the agreement and warned that further delays would have consequences.
In total, Israel has received 14 coffins containing the bodies of the deceased hostages, while thirteen bodies have been identified. Thus, according to the Israeli side, Hamas continues to hold the bodies of 15 hostages.
The newspaper "Asharq al-Awsat" reported on October 17 that Palestinian radicals will have to carry out a "large-scale search operation" to find the remaining bodies of the hostages in Gaza. The search process is complicated by the fact that Hamas supporters knew where the remains were buried and were killed in the fighting.
Furthermore, several areas of the enclave where the bodies were believed to be buried were completely destroyed and razed by the Israeli army, making access extremely difficult.
