Hamas operatives carried out digging operations this morning at two sites in northern Gaza, after several days of internal searches that began on Thursday.
The searches focused on multiple locations in the Beit Lahiya and Jabalia areas. During today’s excavation, Hamas uncovered five bodies: four in one pit and another in a separate location.
According to Hamas’ own assessment, the four bodies found together belonged to Hamas terrorists. The additional body, discovered separately, is believed to be that of an Israeli hostage.
Despite this identification, Hamas is refusing to hand over the remains, continuing its policy of withholding information and exploiting the suffering of Israeli families.
