Hamas has handed the remains of more hostages back to Israel, but the Israeli military says one of the bodies recovered does not belong to a hostage.

The remains of Tamir Nimrodi, Uriel Baruch and Eitan Levi were sent back from Gaza on board Red Cross vehicles.

Another body included in the handover has been assessed to be that of a Palestinian from Gaza.Israel is also returning the remains of Palestinians to Gaza that had been withheld.
