Hamas releases bodies of four Israeli hostages, said to include a mother and her two young children.

The remains were said to be those of Ariel and Kfir , as well as Oded Lifshitz , who was 83 when he was abducted.

Hamas -led militants abducted 251 hostages, including some 30 children, in the Oct. 7 attack.

Hamas could be reluctant to free more hostages if it believes the war will resume with the goal of annihilating the group or forcibly transferring Gaza 's population.

Israel 's military offensive killed over 48,000 Palestinians , mostly women and children, according to Gaza 's Health Ministry .

Israel says it has killed over 17,000 fighters, without providing evidence.
