Terror-labelled Hamas in Gaza announces that the movement is expanding the search for remains from those who were taken as hostages in the attack on Israel.

Egypt has sent a group of experts to Gaza to participate in the search. Turkey has also previously announced that they have sent rescue teams that have experience of similar operations.

According to the ceasefire agreement, Hamas is to hand over all hostages. After the agreement, Hamas has handed over the remains of 15 hostages. In the last five days, no further remains have been handed over.

Israel is returning the remains of Palestinians as part of the agreement: 15 remains of Palestinians for each hostage that Hamas hands over. So far, Israel has handed over the remains of 195 Palestinians - many of them unidentified, writes the news agency AP.
