Al Jazeera reported, citing its sources, that mediators between Israel and Hamas are holding talks aimed at ensuring the "safe departure" of Hamas terrorists from areas beyond the yellow line.
According to the sources, the goal is to guarantee a "safe exit" for the terrorists and to prevent any potential friction between them and IDF troops.
The proposed arrangement reportedly includes the evacuation of the terrorists in International Red Cross vehicles through secured crossings. The sources said Hamas has agreed to the evacuation arrangements for the terrorists who remain in areas beyond the yellow line, and that mediators are now waiting for Israel's approval of the plan.
Earlier Sunday, Hamas claimed it had located three deceased hostages. Saudi-owned channel Al Arabiya reported that thhe hostages were allegedly recovered from the rubble. It should be noted that Hamas is still holding 11 deceased hostages and has lied about their status in recent weeks. Israel has received indications and is preparing for the possible transfer of the bodies.
Last Friday, Israel received remains of three bodies from the International Red Cross, which were sent for examination at the National Center of Forensic Medicine. According to the findings, the remains did not belong to any of the deceased hostages. Hamas later issued a statement claiming that Israel had requested to test unidentified bodies and had refused to receive samples to confirm whether they were the hostages.
