Hamas' military wing announced that it would hand over the bodies of two more hostages, after Israel made the handover of all bodies a condition for opening the border crossing from Gaza to Egypt.

The Ezzadin al-Qassam Brigades announced on the Telegram social network that they would hand over "the bodies of two prisoners found today in the Gaza Strip."

Shortly before that, the office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the opening of the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt "will be considered based on how Hamas fulfills its obligations regarding the return of hostages and the bodies of the deceased, and the implementation of the agreed framework."

The Rafah crossing, which is crucial for the entry of aid into Gaza, "will remain closed until further notice," Netanyahu's office said in a statement.
