Hamas' armed wing has handed over the bodies of three Israeli captives this evening as part of the ongoing hostage-prisoner exchange under a ceasefire agreement for Gaza with Israel.
The Israel army said the Red Cross received the remains of three Gaza hostages.
"According to information provided by the Red Cross, three coffins of deceased hostages have been transferred into their custody and are on their way to IDF troops in the Gaza Strip,' the military said.
Despite occasional flare-ups, a fragile truce has held in Gaza since 10 October under a US-brokered deal focused on the return of all Israeli hostages, both living and dead.
Since the truce began, Hamas has released 20 surviving hostages and started handing over the remains of those killed.
Of the 28 bodies, it has so far returned 17 - including 15 Israelis, one Thai national, and one Nepalese.
Israel has accused Hamas of dragging its feet in returning the bodies, while the Palestinian group says the process is slow because many remains are buried beneath Gaza's rubble.
An Israeli airstrike killed a man in Gaza, health authorities said, as Israel and Hamas traded blame for daily violations of a fragile truce that has largely halted two years of war.
The Israeli military said its aircraft struck a militant who was posing a threat to its forces.
Al-Ahli Hospital said one man was killed in the airstrike near a vegetable market in the Shejaia suburb of Gaza City.
Yesterday, the Israeli military said that its troops were attacked by militants in areas of Gaza where its forces are still deployed as part of the US-backed ceasefire agreement.
Hamas listed a series of what it said were Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreed in October, which have killed more than 200 people.
At least 236 Palestinians, most of them civilians, have been killed in Israeli strikes since the ceasefire took effect, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
Three Israeli soldiers have been killed by Palestinian gunmen in the same period, according to the military, which says its strikes have targeted dozens of militants.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel will continue to retaliate for, and thwart, any attempts to harm its troops in Gaza and threatened to keep up action against Hamas.
"There are still Hamas pockets in the areas under our control in Gaza, and we are systematically eliminating them," Mr Netanyahu said in broadcast remarks at the start of his cabinet meeting in Jerusalem.
He added that any Israeli action in Gaza is reported to the US. Hamas in its statement said the United States was not doing enough to ensure Israel abides by the ceasefire agreement.
The US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Caine, met with Israel's military chief Eyal Zamir yesterday during a visit to the region to discuss Gaza, the Israeli military said.
About 200 US troops have set up base in southern Israel to monitor the ceasefire and plan an international force to stabilise Gaza.
There has been little sign of progress on the next stages of President Donald Trump's 20-point plan to end war in Gaza and major obstacles still lie ahead, including the disarmament of Hamas and a timeline for Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
