Hebrew Broadcasting Authority: "Israel" informed Washington of "Hamas's" ability to return the bodies of 10 of the deceased captives.

The Hebrew broadcasting authority "Kan" revealed on Friday that officials in the Israeli occupation's Ministry of Defense informed U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance during his visit to Tel Aviv that Hamas is capable of returning the bodies of 10 out of 13 deceased captives still held in the Gaza Strip.

The meeting took place at the "Kirya" base, where the Israeli occupation's Minister of Defense, Israel Katz, and the Chief of Staff, Eyal Zamir, provided a detailed intelligence assessment regarding the situation in Gaza and Hamas's ability to deliver the bodies.

The occupation officials confirmed that the return of the bodies could occur before the arrival of international teams to assist in their retrieval.

This assessment comes after Hamas returned 15 bodies of captives who died during detention since the beginning of the ceasefire, in addition to releasing 20 living captives.

Sources indicate that these operations were conducted in coordination with international parties to ensure safe delivery according to humanitarian protocols.

Before the ceasefire, Hamas was holding the bodies of 28 deceased captives. With the start of the ceasefire, the movement returned 15 bodies (the latest being the delivery of two bodies last Tuesday night), while 13 bodies remain held in the sector.

The new assessment reflects Hamas's capability to return at least 10 bodies, which contrasts with previous estimates that stated recovering all bodies might be difficult due to the conditions of detention and the destruction resulting from the conflict.

This new estimate allows for clearer and safer planning of future delivery procedures.

The issue of retrieving the bodies of captives is one of the most sensitive files, closely monitored by the international community, including the United Nations and the Red Cross.
