IDF soldier Corporal Noa Marciano, 19, was abducted during Oct. 7 massacre and murdered by Hamas terrorist Muhammad Issam Hassan al-Habil, who was killed in Israeli strike.

It marks the last hostage-detainee exchange between Israel and Hamas carried out as part of the first phase of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire reached in October.

According to the Southern District Attorney’s Office, this was an “organized, systematic, and sophisticated smuggling operation of various goods into the Gaza Strip in exchange for financial gain.”

The brother of Israel’s internal spy chief has been arrested and is set be charged with aiding Hamas. Bezalel Zini, brother of Shin Bet director David Zini, is accused of taking part in a large-scale criminal operation to smuggle contraband cigarettes into the Gaza Strip.

Israel agreed to return 15 Palestinian bodies for each hostage recovered, according to the ceasefire terms. It’s unclear if the bodies released Thursday were of Palestinian detainees who died in Israeli custody or bodies taken from Gaza by Israeli troops during the war.

Israel has previously cast doubt on figures from the Hamas-run health ministry, which the UN considers reliable.

Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, say they will not release billions in rebuilding aid until Hamas disarms and enforceable security guarantees are in place.
