Jerusalem, October 26 (Xinhua) — Red Cross and Egyptian teams have been granted permission to enter the Gaza Strip to search for hostage bodies, Israeli government spokesperson Shosh Bedrosian announced on Sunday.
Speaking at a briefing, Sh. Bedrosyan reported that Israel has allowed teams assisting in search operations to move beyond the "yellow line," which marks the border of the Israeli troop withdrawal zone in accordance with the current ceasefire agreement.
Sh. Bedrosyan noted that the Palestinian movement Hamas has yet to return the bodies of 13 hostages. According to the agreement, Hamas is obligated to hand over the remains of 28 dead hostages in addition to the 20 living hostages released earlier this month.
The statement came after Hamas announced it was expanding its search for the bodies of the dead hostages and a day after an Egyptian team of experts with heavy equipment entered Gaza to assist in the search efforts.
