CAIRO (AP) — Hamas says it is expanding its search for the remains of hostages still left in Gaza. Sunday’s announcement came a day after Egypt sent a team with heavy equipment to assist in the work. Under the U.S.-brokered ceasefire, Hamas is expected to return all Israeli hostage remains as soon as possible. Israel has agreed to return 15 bodies of Palestinians for each one. U.S. President Donald Trump warned Saturday he was “watching very closely” to ensure Hamas returns more bodies within the next 48 hours. The fragile ceasefire took effect on Oct. 10.
