Hamas: No interest in ‘keeping any bodies’ of Israeli captives

Hamas says it is aware of the claims over the body of a captive released yesterday and looking into them “with complete seriousness”.

“We also point out the possibility of an error or overlap regarding the bodies, which may have resulted from the occupation targeting and bombing the place where the family was with other Palestinians,” the group said in a statement published on Telegram.

Hamas said it would inform the mediators of the results of the investigation, also calling for the return of the body that Israel claims belonged to a Palestinian woman. The group added it “will announce the results transparently”.

Hamas stressed it has no interest in “keeping any bodies” of the captives.
