Brief by Shorts91 Newsdesk / 05:32pm on 14 Oct 2025,Tuesday International

Israel will keep the Rafah border with Egypt closed on Wednesday and send less aid to Gaza after Hamas gave back only four bodies out of 28 dead hostages on Monday. The Israeli army named them as Guy Illouz, Bipin Joshi, Yossi Sharabi, and Daniel Peretz. UN aid chief Tom Fletcher told Israel to keep border crossings open so badly needed help can reach Gaza. He said both sides must follow the ceasefire agreement fully. Hamas was supposed to return all hostages by Monday noon. Palestinian Civil Defence said seven people were killed by Israeli shooting in different events. Fletcher asked Hamas to return bodies while keeping aid flowing into Gaza. (PC: X)
