Gazook terror groups handed over what they said was the body of one of the three remaining deceased hostages on Tuesday evening, with Israel saying the remains were brought to a forensic institute for identification.
The bodies of three captives have yet to be received by their families — those of Israelis Dror Or and Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, and Thai national Sudthisak Rinthalak.
The development came after the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
terror group said Monday that it had recovered the body in an area north of central Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

’s Nuseirat, and after Israel said Tuesday afternoon that it took a "very grave view" of the more than 24-hour delay in returning it, which it regarded as another violation of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
Shortly after Israel’s statement, Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...announced that it and Islamic Jihad would hand over the body.
The remains were handed to the Red Thingy in central Gaza and then to IDF troops inside the Strip, where a small ceremony, led by a military rabbi, was held.
The casket was then brought out of Gaza by troops, and police escorted it to the Abu Kabir forensic institute in Tel Aviv for identification, a process that officials have said may take up to two days.

IDF KILLS 5 GUNMEN IN RAFAH, AS OPERATIVES STILL HOLED UP
Meanwhile Tuesday, the military said it killed five button men in eastern Rafah, an IDF-held area in the southern Gaza Strip where dozens of Hamas operatives are believed to be trapped in tunnels.
Troops of the Nahal Brigade, during scans of the area, spotted the five armed operatives and killed them a short while later, the army said, publishing images of their firearms. The military said it believes the button men emerged from tunnels in the area, where several dozen Hamas operatives remain holed up.
A week ago, IDF troops spotted and rubbed out four operatives who emerged from a tunnel in the area. In an incident over the weekend, 17 button men emerged from tunnels and were either killed or captured.
The IDF has vowed to kill or capture all the remaining operatives on the Israeli side of the Yellow Line that separates Gaza in accordance with the October ceasefire agreement.
TROOPS KILL OPERATIVE WHO CROSSED YELLOW LINE IN NORTH GAZA
Additionally, the IDF said troops rubbed out a terror operative who crossed the Yellow Line in a separate incident on Tuesday.
The operative was identified approaching troops of the 188th Armored Brigade "in a way that posed an immediate threat," the military said. The soldiers opened fire and "eliminated the terrorist to remove the threat," the statement added.
On Saturday, Israel carried out deadly strikes across Gaza in response to an attack on troops in the Strip’s south. According to Israel, the strikes killed several Hamas commanders. On Monday, the IDF said it killed suspects who crossed the Yellow Line in several separate incidents.
The first phase of US President Donald Trump
...So far he's been unkillable, and they've tried....
’s 20-point ceasefire plan formed the basis of Israel and Hamas’s October 9 truce-hostage deal.
In the next stage of the plan, Israel is meant to withdraw further from the Yellow Line, alongside the establishment of a transitional authority to govern Gaza, the deployment of a multinational security force meant to take over from the Israeli military, the disarmament of Hamas, and the start of reconstruction.
Hamas has so far refused to agree on the matter of demilitarization. Israel insists the Strip must be demilitarized before Trump’s plan can advance.
GAZA WILL TAKE DECADES TO RECOVER FROM WAR, SAYS UN AGENCY
Someday y’all will look back on this and think of all the valuable lessons learnt. Or not, as the case may be.
The United Nations...the Oyster Bay money pit...
on Tuesday reported an "unprecedented collapse across the Paleostinian economy" amid the war, and called for "immediate and substantial" international intervention.
Rebuilding Gaza will cost more than $70 billion and could take several decades, the UN Trade and Development agency (UNCTAD) said in a report.
OR: Another couple hundred years in tented "Refugee Camps"
"The military operations have significantly undermined every pillar of survival," from food to shelter to healthcare, "and plunged the Strip into a human-made abyss," it said.
Even "in an optimistic scenario of double-digit growth rates facilitated by a significant level of foreign aid, it will take several decades for Gaza to return to pre-October 2023 welfare levels," it added.
UNCTAD called for a "comprehensive recovery plan" combining "coordinated international assistance, restoration of fiscal transfers, and measures to ease constraints on trade, movement and investment."
Body of hostage returned from Gaza last night identified as Dror Or
[IsraelTimes] Military representatives have notified the family of Dror Or that his body was returned to Israel by Palestinian terror groups last night, after forensic experts completed identification efforts.
Or was murdered by Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists and abducted from his home in Kibbutz Be’eri on October 7, 2023.
Or’s body was “found” by Palestinian Islamic Jihad in central Gaza’s Nuseirat on Monday. Islamic Jihad and Hamas handed over the body to the Red Cross on Tuesday afternoon, who then brought it to the IDF.
The bodies of two slain hostages now remain held in the Strip — Master Sgt. Ran Gvili and Thai national Sudthisak Rinthalak.
“The Israeli government shares in the deep sorrow of the Or family and of all the families of the fallen hostages,” the Prime Minister’s Office says in a statement.
The PMO says that Israel is “determined, committed, and working tirelessly” to bring back the remaining two slain hostages for burial, adding that Hamas is “required to fulfill its commitments to the mediators and return them as part of the implementation of the agreement.”
Or’s wife, Yonat, was also murdered during the onslaught in Be’eri, and their younger children, Noam and Alma, were abducted alive and later returned in a ceasefire deal two years ago, on November 25, 2023.
