Palestinian media reports that more than 80 bodies were returned to the Gaza Strip this morning.

Amid the war in Gaza, the IDF has taken for identification bodies suspected of being those of hostages, returning them after confirming they do not belong to any captives that were abducted by Hamas on October 7.

At least 39 of the remaining 111 hostages taken by Hamas on October 7 have been confirmed dead.
