Hamas says it will delay hostage handover, after Israeli prime minister orders ‘immediate, powerful’ military strikes in Gaza
CNN ^ | Oct 28, 2025 | Mohammed Tawfeeq and Eugenia Yosef

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday ordered the Israeli military to carry out “immediate, powerful” strikes in Gaza.

Earlier today, Netanyahu’s office said that Hamas is in “clear violation” of the Gaza ceasefire agreement after returning remains to Israel that did not belong to any of the 13 hostages still unaccounted for in the enclave.

The armed wing of Hamas, the Al-Qassam Brigades, subsequently announced it would postpone the handover of a hostage’s body that was recovered in southern Gaza on Tuesday due to Israel’s “violations.”

🚨 @ICRC representatives watched as Hamas terrorists dumped a hostage’s body from a bulldozer, covered it in dirt, and then pretended to find it.

The Red Cross continues to go along with Hamas propaganda efforts.

Hamas made a huge mistake in returning the last live hostage and eliminating any leverage they had.

They can’t kill dead bodies all over again, so the IDF is now free to eradicate them if they don’t return the corpses in a respectful fashion.

Let’s hope they do.

Yeah, um.... delay “this” MF’s (double index fingers extended). Too little, too late on the hostage release game. Time’s up.

Hamas has played enough games. They are playing Trump for a fool, what they did by releasing some remains of someone who was given back two years ago, they are laughing in Trumps face, enough is enough, Israel already got back the live hostages, now its time to once and for all destroy Hamas..fun time is OVER

Before I thought maybe maybe Hamas did not know the location of every single body, but now I believe 100 percent that Hamas knows the location of EVERY SINGLE LAST BODY..and of course the Red Cross does nothing, they side with Hamas

IDF is also moving the ‘Yellow Line’ farther into Gaza.

Tsarfati and others:

“Both the Americans and the Israelis are fully aware that Hamas knows the exact locations of 10 hostage bodies. The locations of only three abductees remain unknown.”

The “Red Cross” has been compromised for decades now. And yes, they are willing accomplices in the duping going on. No matter. Hamas has run out of time and 2nd chances now. They have reached the FO stage.

I’m guessing the main reason the Israelis want the hostage bodies is for proof of death. The terrorists have been known to lie about such things.

Hamas got punked.

All the live hostages have been released - they are the ones that really mattered.

While it would be nice to get the bodies of dead hostages returned, it's different.

It's also looking like the Israelis know where most of the bodies are located and they are buried deep in the ground which requires excavating equipment to reach.

They do not need Hamas cooperation to retrieve most of the bodies, they need Hamas gone.

I feel just horribly for the victim’s families. But their relatives are dead and shouldnt form any impediment to ending this

it’s more than games with bodies. Hamas fired on IDF outside Raffa.

The last body hamas turned over wasn’t a hostage.....given that, I’m not completely convinced that there ARE anymore hostage bodies to turn over.....I think they’re bluffing.

Is there anyone with even a modicum of knowledge of the history of Hamas who thought they would honor a ceasefire? In a matter of days, Hamas executed 500 of its own citizens because they were told those people were traitors to Hamas. No trial, just hearsay and—BOOM—a bullet to the back of your head. Religion of peace, my ass. Without fear, they would not remain in power for a second.

Trump made an intense, good faith effort to accomodate both (or all five) sides. It didn’t work.
Now is reckoning time. Bibi should spearhead raining hellfire down on Hamas, wherever they may be, including Qatar, Jordan, Syria, etc.
They have impeccable intel, now, act on it.

By not already handing over any and all hostages or their remains, Hamas has admitted to breaking the ceasefire.
