Hostage Remains Exchanged Amid Fragile Ceasefire Between Israel and Hamas

In a significant development during the ongoing ceasefire, Hamas has returned the body of Itay Chen, the last remaining American-Israeli hostage held in Gaza, alongside the remains of three additional Israeli hostages. Israel has reciprocated by returning the bodies of 45 Palestinians as part of the agreement. The remains of Itay Chen, who fell in an attack, were confirmed by his family to finally be brought back home after more than two years. Despite the exchanges, concerns remain about the identification and recovery of other hostages still unaccounted for, as both sides navigate a delicate truce amid ongoing tensions.
