Families Demand Hamas Return Bodies of 24 Israeli Hostages
----------------------------------------------------------

Israeli authorities say they've identified the bodies of four hostages
returned by Hamas as part of the ceasefire deal, while families express
anger that the bodies of 24 other Israelis have not yet been returned.
Human Rights groups say Israel holds the bodies of over 700
Palestinians, including dozens of children, whom Israel has used as
bargaining chips in negotiations.
