The Israeli government has identified Manny Godard, a 73-year-old Israeli resident of a kibbutz near the Gaza Strip, as the deceased hostage whose remains were handed over by Hamas on Thursday. Godard and his wife Ayelet were killed during the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israeli communities near the Strip. The handover was part of a US-brokered ceasefire agreement, and Godard's remains were transported to Israel's national forensics laboratory for identification. The release leaves three remaining deceased hostages in the Gaza Strip, and Israel is committed to bringing back all of its fallen hostages for a proper burial. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum has been organizing rallies calling for the release of the remaining deceased hostages, with freed hostages expressing their inability to heal until all hostages are returned home.

German police arrested a suspected Hamas member, Lebanese-born Borhan El-K, for allegedly acquiring Glock pistols and ammunition to attack Jewish institutions. El-K was arrested on the motorway after crossing into Germany from the Czech Republic. The German federal prosecutor's office alleged that El-K procured an automatic rifle, eight Glock pistols, and over 600 pieces of ammunition, which were handed to another suspected Hamas member, Wael FM, in Berlin. The arrests were made ahead of Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. Hamas has denied any connection to the suspects, calling the allegations 'baseless'.
