The Qassam Brigades claimed on Tuesday that they had recovered the body of an Israeli hostage during operations inside a tunnel in southern Gaza.
The terror group said the planned transfer of the body has been delayed, blaming what it called “Israeli violations,” and warned that additional Israeli military activity could hinder their search efforts and delay the return of more remains.
The statement follows Israeli outrage over the slow pace of returning the slain hostages, and anger after remnants returned last night were from a previously recovered case rather than a newly located body. Israel has also accused Hamas of staging a fake “finding” of those remains.
Ahead of the announcement, Hamas’s Shehab news agency released video showing operatives at what appeared to be a tunnel entrance in Khan Younis, reporting that they were searching the site for hostages’ bodies.

I thought they cannot locate them? I dont understand if Netanyahu says Hamas was defeated how are they dictating the terms? Did Nazis dictate terms in 1946? So confused or are the Zionists lying about things?
