Israel police on Monday shared footage of a convoy transporting the bodies of deceased hostages returned in a deal with Hamas following a ceasefire.

Earlier on Monday Hamas said it would release the bodies of four of the 28 deceased hostages later in the day.

It was not immediately clear when the remaining 24 bodies would be sent back to Israel.

The families of the deceased captives have demanded the bodies be returned as part of the current ceasefire deal.
