Hamas returns two hostages, Israel growing impatient as 13 hostages remain

Israel’s military says Hamas has handed over the remains of two more hostages to the red cross in Gaza.

Since the ceasefire began on Oct. 10, the remains of 13 hostages have been returned to Israel.

After these latest remains arrive in Israel, another 13 still need to be recovered in Gaza and handed over.

On a visit to Israel Tuesday, U.S. Vice President JD Vance urged a “little bit of patience” amid Israeli frustration with Hamas’ pace of returning the hostages.

He said some of the remains are buried under rubble and the whereabouts of others are unknown.
