Report: Hamas claims to recover another hostage’s body from tunnel in Khan Younis

The Saudi Al-Hadath channel reports that Hamas has recovered what it says is another hostage’s body from a tunnel in Khan Younis, in addition to the one recovered earlier today.

Hamas earlier announced that it would return the first hostage’s body, recovered today from a tunnel, tonight, but then called that off “due to [Israeli] violations of the ceasefire agreement.”

Israel has accused Hamas of multiple violations of the deal reached earlier this month, and has charged that the terror group knows where the vast majority or even all the remaining bodies of hostages are, and is purposely stalling and staging fake discoveries of bodies.
