Violence erupted at a pro-Palestine protest in Barcelona, with clashes continuing into the night on Wednesday (15 October).

Approximately 1,000 protesters marched towards the Israeli consulate in the Spanish city to condemn Israel’s military action in the Gaza Strip.

The Spanish government has openly criticised the actions of the Israeli army, a stance which has gained strong public support.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Israel "will not compromise" and demanded that Hamas fulfill the requirements laid out in the ceasefire deal about the return of hostages' bodies.

The comments came after Donald Trump, in an interview with CNN, warned that Israel could resume the war if he feels Hamas isn't upholding its end of the agreement.

"Israel will return to those streets as soon as I say the word," Trump said.

Hamas' armed wing said in a statement Wednesday that the group honored the ceasefire's terms and handed over the remains of the hostages it had access to.

Hamas has assured the US through intermediaries that it is working to return dead hostages, according to two senior US advisers.

The advisers, who were not authorized to comment publicly and briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity, said they do not believe Hamas has violated the deal.

Israeli defence minister Israel Katz said he has instructed the military to prepare a “comprehensive plan” to defeat Hamas should the war be renewed in Gaza.

According to Mr Katz’s office, the minister instructed “the preparation of a plan for the complete defeat of Hamas in Gaza if it refuses to implement [US] President [Donald] Trump’s plan, and it becomes necessary to resume fighting".

“Under Trump’s plan, Hamas must return all the fallen hostages in its possession, and disarm, while Israel, together with the international force led by the US, will act to destroy all tunnels and terror infrastructure in Gaza to ensure that Gaza is demilitarized [and does not pose] any threat to the State of Israel,” a statement from his office read.

“If Hamas refuses to implement the agreement, Israel, in coordination with the US, will return to fighting and act to achieve the complete defeat of Hamas, change the reality in Gaza, and attain all the objectives of the war."

The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was under pressure on Wednesday after Israel said a body returned among the remains of hostages did not correspond to any of the captives.

The Israeli military said on Wednesday morning that one of four bodies repatriated late on Tuesday did not match any of the 21 still believed to be in Gaza.

Relatives identified the bodies of Uriel Baruch, Tamir Nimrodi and Eitan Levy, after the remains of Guy Illouz, Bipin Joshi, Yossi Sharabi and Daniel Peretz were returned on Monday. Hamas released all 20 living hostages still in its custody on Monday.

The remains of the two Israeli hostages returned by Hamas last night have been identified by the National Center for Forensic Medicine.

The officials confirmed that Inbar Hayman and Muhammad al-Atarash were the two deceased hostages returned to Israel, prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said today.

"The government of Israel shares in the deep sorrow of the families of Hayman and al-Atarash and all the families of the fallen abductees," it added.

Hamas says the remains of all dead hostages that it can reach have been handed back to Israel, after the militant group returned two more bodies on Wednesday.

Under the first phase of the Gaza peace plan, Hamas is obliged to return all 28 deceased hostages. If the two bodies are confirmed to be hostages, 19 would still remain unaccounted for in Gaza.

The militant group's armed wing said in a statement that Hamas had “fulfilled its commitment to the agreement by handing over all living Israeli prisoners in its custody, as well as the corpses it could access".

"The remaining bodies require significant efforts and specialised equipment to search for and retrieve, and we are making a great effort to close this file".

The health ministry in Gaza received 45 more bodies of Palestinians from Israel, marking another step in the implementation of the ceasefire agreement.

That brought to 90 the total number of bodies returned to Gaza for burial.

The forensics team examining the remains said they showed signs of mistreatment and released images of 32 unidentified bodies to help families recognise missing relatives.

The team that received the bodies said some arrived still shackled or bearing signs of physical abuse.

Many of the bodies appeared decomposed or burned. Some were missing limbs or teeth, while others were coated in sand and dust, according to Gaza officials.

Health officials have said Israeli restrictions on allowing DNA testing equipment into Gaza have often forced morgues to rely on physical features and clothing for identification.

Sameh Hamad, a member of a commission tasked with receiving the bodies at Khan Younis' Nasser Hospital, said some arrived with their hands and legs cuffed. "There are signs of torture and executions," he told The Associated Press.

The bodies, he said, belonged to men ages 25 to 70. Most had bands on their necks, including one that had a rope around the neck.

A difficult path to recovery will include rebuilding a sense of control over their lives and following a carefully supervised diet:
