Former hostage Edan Alexander wears IDF uniform for first time since Gaza captivity, vowing to use his knowledge of Hamas tactics to fight back.

Israel received a body on Wednesday that Hamas said was one of the last two deceased hostages in the Gaza Strip. It comes as Israel said it would allow Gaza's gateway to Egypt to open once all hostages were returned.

The bodies of two deceased hostages are still thought to be in Gaza. Israeli authorities have been releasing Palestinian prisoners and the bodies of deceased Palestinians detainees in exchange for the return of hostage remains.

The Palestinian militant group Hamas has been devastated by two years of fighting in Gaza. But is the organization now using a ceasefire to regroup?

Tehran attempted to leverage Bangkok into crippling the Israeli economy by trying to broker a deal between Thailand and Hamas, who had captured 39 of its citizens.

The militant group took more than 250 hostages from Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, including 31 from Thailand. The remains of all but one other hostage, an Israeli, have been recovered.

Israel has announced plans to reopen the Rafah border crossing in the coming days, allowing Palestinians to leave Gaza.

Gaza militias emerge as Hamas regroups during ceasefire, with Palestinian fighters forming new forces to challenge the group's control in the territory.
