(Reuters) -A first batch of bodies of Palestinians killed during the Gaza war has arrived in the enclave after being released by Israel, local health authorities told Reuters on Tuesday.

Israel still hold hundreds of bodies of Palestinians killed since October 7, 2023, including of fighters who took part in the attack and the fighting afterwards.
