Israel has announced that teams from Egypt and the Red Cross have been granted permission to search for the bodies of hostages taken on October 7 in Gaza. The search area remains under Israeli control. Hamas stated that under the first phase of the ceasefire, it handed over 15 bodies out of 28 hostages and that locating the remaining bodies will take time.
