Israel military says body handed over by Hamas is not a hostage

Israeli officials say that one of the bodies handed over by Hamas this week as part of a ceasefire agreement is not that of a hostage. Four bodies were returned on Tuesday to ease pressure on the fragile truce, following the release of the last 20 living hostages on Monday.

After forensic examinations, the Israeli military confirmed that one of the four does not match any of the hostages held in Gaza. The revelation comes as international pressure mounts on Hamas to fully comply with the terms of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire.
