Hamas has reported on Wednesday that "all bodies" of the hostages killed in Gaza have been handed over and has ensured that the recovery of the remaining bodies will require "special efforts and equipment".

The International Committee of the Red Cross today received two coffins with the bodies of two Israeli hostages in Gaza.

These two bodies are added to the seven of the hostages previously handed over by Hamas after an Israeli forensic institute claimed that an eighth body did not correspond to any of the 28 prisoners killed.

Hamas, for its part, has said that it has fulfilled its "commitment to the agreement" and has already handed over "all Israeli prisoners".

"As for the rest of the bodies, it takes a lot of effort and special equipment to recover them and remove them," the Islamist group added in a statement broadcast on its official channels.

There are still 19 bodies of hostages to be handed over for at least 360 Gazatis, 90 of which have been returned to Gaza by the Israeli Army under the terms of the treaty.

Washington has admitted in recent days that it would take Hamas longer to find the missing bodies.
