Hamas has handed over what it says are the bodies of four Israeli hostages from Gaza.

Israel is testing DNA samples to confirm they are the remains of Shlomo Mansour, 86, Ohad Yahalomi, 50, Tsachi Idan, 50, and Itzik Elgarat, 69, all of whom were taken by Hamas in the 7 October 2023 attacks.

Israel is due to release more than 600 Palestinian prisoners once the remains are identified.

It will be the final exchange of the first phase of the ceasefire deal, which is due to end on Saturday.
