LIVE: Israel returns 30 bodies of prisoners to Gaza, per terms of ceasefire

Friday, 31 Oct 2025

Israel has returned the bodies of 30 Palestinian prisoners to Gaza, some exhibiting signs of torture, after Hamas returned the bodies of two more deceased Israeli captives yesterday.
    
Israeli warplanes and artillery continue to hit Khan Younis in south Gaza and neighbourhoods of northern Gaza City despite Israel’s claim that it returned to the ceasefire two days ago.
    
Gaza residents say they fear a return to Israel’s full-scale bombing, as they struggle to find food and shelter amid the supposed truce.

Some aid trucks have entered Gaza to deliver much-needed supplies, Aljazeera's correspondent reports, but the number of deliveries still remains insufficient to meet Palestinians’ needs.
    
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and Hamas’s armed wing are in eastern Khan Younis in southern Gaza to search for the remains of Israeli captives, sources in the armed group tell Al Jazeera.
    
The Turkish foreign minister says he will meet with his counterparts on Monday to discuss the Gaza ceasefire and next steps.
    
Israel has carried out two air strikes on southern Lebanon despite an ongoing ceasefire, killing at least one person.
  
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 68,527 people and wounded 170,395 since it began in October 2023. A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks, and about 200 were taken captive.
