Hamas expanded its search for the remaining bodies of Israeli hostages in new areas in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, the terrorist group said, a day after Egypt deployed a team of experts to help retrieve the bodies.

A convoy of trucks and heavy equipment, including an excavator and bulldozers, entered southern Gaza overnight, part of efforts by international mediators to shore up the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, two Egyptian officials told the Associated Press, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

Footage by the Agence France-Presse news agency showed the convoy in Khan Yunis in the south of Gaza.
