The toll also includes Palestinians killed by strikes since the truce took hold, which Israel says target remaining militants. Israel on Saturday returned the remains of another 15 Palestinians to Gaza, according to hospital officials in the strip, a day after militants returned the remains of a hostage to Israel. For each Israeli hostage returned, Israel has been releasing the remains of 15 Palestinians. Palestinians on Saturday checked the newly returned remains. Israel’s military on Saturday said soldiers killed two militants who had approached troops, one in northern Gaza and the other in the south.
