Conversation: Hamas returns body of hostage but attacks continue NHK

A: Hey there! Did you catch the latest news?

B: Nope, what's up?

A: So, Israel's prime minister says Hamas returned one hostage as part of a ceasefire for Gaza. But they still got one more hostage, sadly.

B: Wow, that's serious. I heard Hamas agreed to hand over all their hostages according to Trump's plan.

A: Exactly! As a result, Israel will reopen the Rafah crossing border with Egypt for Gaza residents only. But Hamas wants Israel to allow people coming from Egypt too.

B: And there was an Israeli military operation in response to a Hamas attack that injured five soldiers yesterday, right?

A: Yeah, they say it violated the agreement. Sadly, Palestinian media reports say it killed five people, including two children. The attack hit a tent with evacuees in Khan Younis and there was another drone attack in Gaza City.

A: It's really tough times over there, buddy. Let's hope for peace soon.
