Masked Palestinian militants stand next to one of the coffins on stage, with an altered portrait of Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu in the background, before handing over the bodies of four Israeli hostages to the Red Cross in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza on February 20, 2025. Hamas handed over on February 20 coffins believed to contain the bodies of four Israeli hostages, including those of the Bibas family who became symbols of the ordeal that has gripped Israel since the Gaza war began. The transfer of the bodies is the first by Hamas since its October 7, 2023 attack on Israel triggered the war, and is taking place under a fragile ceasefire that has seen living hostages exchanged for Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.

A protester wearing a face covering attends a national demonstration for Palestine and Lebanon, in central London, on November 30, 2024. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened Hezbollah on November 28, 2024 with an "intensive war" if it breaches a fragile Lebanon ceasefire, which on its second day is straining under pressure from both sides. Lebanon says at least 3,961 people have been killed in the country since October 2023, most of them in recent weeks. Since Hamas's October 7 attack last year that triggered the war, Israel's campaign in Gaza has killed at least 44,382 people, most of them civilians, according to data from the Hamas-run territory's health ministry, which the United Nations considers reliable.
