5. VARIOUS OF CONSTRUCTION MACHINE DIGGING DEIR AL-BALAH, PALESTINE - NOV. 22: Search operations continued in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip on Saturday, Nov. 22, to recover the bodies of Israeli hostages under a cease-fire and prisoner exchange deal between Israel and Hamas.

The handover is part of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement that took effect on Oct. 10. The deal includes the exchange of prisoners and bodies between Israel and Hamas, brokered by Türkiye, Egypt, and Qatar, with US oversight.

Hamas has so far released 20 Israeli captives alive and returned the remains of 21 out of 28 deceased captives, most of them Israelis, according to the group. Israel, however, claimed that one of the bodies received did not match any of its missing captives.

Israel has tied the start of negotiations for the second phase of the ceasefire to the handover of all the hostage remains. Hamas says the process requires time due to the massive destruction in Gaza.

Phase one of the deal includes the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. The plan also envisages the rebuilding of Gaza and the establishment of a new governing mechanism without Hamas.

Since October 2023, the Israeli genocidal war has killed nearly 69,000 people and injured more than 170,600, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
