CAIRO—Israel said Hamas handed over “two coffins of deceased hostages ” from Gaza late Saturday, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu increased pressure on the terrorist group to share the rest more quickly under their ceasefire.
No names were immediately released. The bodies were in Israel and were being taken to the country’s National Institute of Forensic Medicine.
