The bodies are expected to be those of three of the 11 hostages whose remains Israel is seeking from Gaza under the terms of the ceasefire. Israel has said Hamas has been too slow

The militant movement is among eight Palestinian groups meeting in Cairo to hammer out proposed features of an interim administration for Gaza.

Telegram channels affiliated with Hamas report that the terror group shut down several shawarma restaurants yesterday along Salah al-Din Road, which runs down the length of the Strip, as part of efforts to regulate food prices. According to the reports, the restaurants were selling chicken at inflated prices, higher than what Hamas had permitted.

The goal is was to stabilize the ceasefire and clear the roughly half of Gaza that Israel controls of Hamas militants.

Hamas has claimed the Trump administration's "biased stance" toward Israel means the ceasefire will continue to be violated.
