Israel says it has "renewed enforcement of the ceasefire" after deadly airstrikes in Gaza that tested the U.S.-brokered peace deal.

Israel has received the remains of what Hamas earlier said were two deceased hostages held in Gaza. The remains were transferred to Israel via the Red Cross and will be taken to the country’s national forensics laboratory for identification.

The bodies were taken to the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute in Tel Aviv for identification, which may take up to two days.
