Four coffins said to contain the remains of Israeli hostages have been received by Israel, as Palestinian prisoners and detainees were released in Gaza and the occupied West Bank in an overnight exchange as part of the fragile ceasefire deal. The exchange marks the start of the final swap in the 42-day truce between Israel and Hamas, which is set to expire this weekend unless an agreement is struck to extend it.

The dead bodies turned over by Hamas belonged to Tsachi Idan, Itzhak Elgarat, Ohad Yahalomi, and Shlomo Mantzur of Israel. All four were taken captive in the Hamas-led attack on October 7, 2023. The families of these dead persons confirmed by their families are their loved ones abducted on October 7, 2023,

On the other hand, Israel is expected to release a total of 642 Palestinian prisoners and detainees, according to the Palestinian Prisoners' Media Office. It said that out of 251 people in Israel who were taken on October 7, 2023, 58 of them are still in Gaza as of February 27, 2025.
