Aid trucks rolled into Gaza on Wednesday and Israel resumed preparations to open the main Rafah crossing as Hamas handed over more bodies of dead hostages.
Israel had warned it could keep Rafah shut and reduce aid supplies because they said Hamas was returning bodies too slowly, showing the risks to a truce that has stopped two years.
However, the militant group returned several Israeli bodies overnight on Wednesday. Preparations were under way to open Rafah to Gazan citizens, while a second official said that 600 aid trucks would go in an Israeli security official said.
Israel seeking to keep the pressure on Hamas, Donald Trump the U.S. President said he would consider allowing Israeli forces to resume fighting in Gaza if Hamas fails to uphold its end of the ceasefire deal that he brokered.
