The Israeli military said the Red Cross is entering Gaza to collect the bodies of several deceased Israeli hostages. The move comes after Hamas returned only four of 28 bodies earlier this week. The Israel Defense Forces identified the four as Guy Illouz, Bipin Joshi, Yossi Sharabi, and Daniel Peretz.

Officials fear the delay in returning the remaining bodies could strain the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. (PC: BBC)
