The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt will stay closed tomorrow and the flow of aid into the Palestinian enclave will be reduced. Israeli officials today said the decision came after Palestinian militant group Hamas did not hand over bodies of hostages it is holding as part of the new U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal, without elaborating on how long the move would last.
Hamas previously indicated that recovering the bodies of some dead hostages may take longer. Yesterday Hamas freed all living 20 hostages and Israel released Palestinian prisoners under the US-brokered ceasefire deal.
