Israel received another hostage's remains from Hamas via the Red Cross, identifying the deceased as Eliyahu Margalit, who was killed on Oct. 7, 2023.

The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt will remain closed until further notice, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Saturday, adding its reopening will depend on Hamas handing over the bodies of deceased hostages as the two sides continued to trade blame over ceasefire violations.

Since the Gaza peace plan took effect early this week, Hamas has handed over 20 living hostages and the remains of at least eight confirmed hostages.

Medical teams at an Israeli hospital awaiting the arrival of hostages expected to be released from Gaza are "prepared for anything," Noa Eliakim Raz, head of the Returning Hostages Unit at the Rabin Medical Center-Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva, told NBC News.

Hamas has now handed over the remains of 12 of the 28 dead hostages in Gaza, a key step in the week-old ceasefire process meant to end two years of war. The militant group says devastation and Israeli military control of certain areas of the Gaza Strip have slowed the handover.

Mahmoud Amin Ya'qub al-Muhtadi allegedly took part in the attack on Israel and lied on a visa application, court documents say.

The Israeli military said it had fired at a "suspicious vehicle" it said had crossed the line demarcating the area occupied by its forces.
