Israel exchanges 15 Palestinian bodies in captive swap with Gaza.

Israel has handed over the bodies of 15 Palestinians to the Red Cross in exchange for the final Israeli captive, closing a chapter in its war on Gaza. Palestinian authorities are awaiting the release of the bodies in Khan Younis or Gaza City. The return of captives was part of a ceasefire agreement, but thousands of Palestinians remain in Israeli prisons, with reports of abuse and deaths in custody. Gaza faces a humanitarian crisis with shortages of shelter, food, and medical supplies, as efforts are made to transition governance to a Palestinian committee under US supervision.
