@bbcnews: Hamas has handed over what it says are the bodies of four Israeli hostages from Gaza, in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. Israel is testing DNA samples to confirm they are the remains of Shlomo Mansour, 86, Ohad Yahalomi, 50, Tsachi Idan, 50, and Itzik Elgarat, 69, who were taken by Hamas in the 7 October 2023 attacks. Early on Thursday, Israel began releasing more than 600 Palestinian prisoners, with dozens returned to the occupied West Bank and Gaza, where they were met by jubilant crowds. Hamas handed the bodies over privately, with no public ceremony, unlike in previous exchanges. This was the final exchange of the first phase of the ceasefire deal, which is due to end on Saturday.
