Newshour - Anger in Israel as pressure mounts on Hamas to return hostage bodies
Download Anger in Israel as pressure mounts on Hamas to return hostage bodies
Israel's military says one of the four bodies returned by Hamas on Tuesday is not that of a former hostage. It said Hamas had to make all efforts to return the remains of those taken on October seventh. The process has been impacted by the devastation in Gaza, with some bodies believed to be under rubble.
Palestinians in Gaza are reported to be stockpiling food, amid anxiety that the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas will unravel -- and the flow of aid will stop.
