**Title: Israel Confirms Body Returned by Hamas Was Not a Hostage**

The Israeli military announced Wednesday that one of the four bodies returned by Hamas is not that of a hostage held in Gaza. This revelation adds to the tensions surrounding a fragile ceasefire that was recently established to end the two-year conflict between Israel and Hamas.

On Tuesday, Hamas handed over four bodies to Israel, following the release of the last 20 living hostages on Monday. In total, Israel is awaiting the return of 28 deceased hostages. The military stated, "Following the completion of examinations at the National Institute of Forensic Medicine, the fourth body handed over to Israel by Hamas does not match any of the hostages."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized the importance of adhering to the ceasefire agreement, demanding that Hamas fulfill its obligations regarding the return of the hostages' bodies. "We will not compromise on this and will not stop our efforts until we return the last deceased hostage, until the last one," he said.

The ceasefire plan, proposed by the U.S., required all hostages—both living and deceased—to be returned by a specific deadline, which expired on Monday. If this did not occur, Hamas was expected to provide information about the deceased hostages and work towards their return as soon as possible.

In response to the situation, Israeli officials announced a reduction in aid at the Rafah crossing with Egypt, allowing only half of the agreed number of aid trucks into Gaza starting Wednesday. This decision was made after Hamas allegedly violated the ceasefire by not returning the bodies of hostages.

This incident is not the first time Hamas has returned the wrong body. Earlier this year, during a previous ceasefire, the group mistakenly returned the body of a Palestinian woman instead of the intended hostages.

Hamas spokesperson Hazem Kassem stated on Wednesday that the group is committed to returning the bodies of the hostages as per the ceasefire agreement. He accused Israel of violating the deal by conducting shootings in eastern Gaza City and Rafah.

As the ceasefire continues, rival gangs within Gaza have been clashing, further complicating the situation. Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that military operations would continue along the deployment lines established in the ceasefire agreement, stating that anyone approaching these lines would be targeted.

Two of the hostages whose bodies were released are scheduled to be buried on Wednesday. Their families have invited the public to join them in mourning as the bodies are transported from a forensic institute to a cemetery north of Tel Aviv.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains critical. The Egyptian Red Crescent reported that at least 400 trucks carrying food, fuel, and medical supplies were en route to the Gaza Strip on Wednesday. This comes after a two-day pause in aid deliveries.

Forensic experts in Gaza have begun identifying 45 bodies of Palestinians that Israel handed over to the Red Cross without identification. It remains unclear whether these bodies are from individuals who died in Israeli prisons or those taken from Gaza by Israeli forces.

The Palestinian Center for the Missing and Forcibly Disappeared Persons has called on Israel to provide detailed information about the bodies returned, including names and circumstances of death. The center estimates that between 8,000 and 9,000 Palestinians have been missing or forcibly disappeared since the onset of the war in Gaza.
