Israel has initiated extensive search operations within IDF-controlled areas of the Gaza Strip as officials believe the remains of several deceased hostages are buried under the rubble, two Israeli officials told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday morning.
The searches are focused on the “Yellow Line,” the demarcation zone established as part of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.
International and Egyptian Teams Join Effort
The operation is being bolstered by international cooperation. According to an N12 report, a Red Cross team has arrived in Rafah, near the Yellow Line, to assist in locating additional remains.
Crucially, the Israeli government also authorized a request from Cairo to allow Egyptian equipment and personnel to enter the Gaza Strip and join the recovery mission.
This deployment of Egyptian teams and equipment has now begun, with personnel entering Gaza to help locate and retrieve the remains of slain hostages.
