Hamas released four bodies during a US-brokered Gaza ceasefire; Israeli forensic teams identified three, while one was found not to be Israeli. The unrecognized body was identified as Khalil Dawas, a Palestinian from Jericho suspected of working with Israeli forces. Dawas was born in Jabaliya, Gaza, and his family later moved to the West Bank village of Tell near Nablus. He reportedly joined a Palestinian faction, was arrested in 2014 and spent years in detention. Residents and former fighters from Aqabat Jabr camp described Dawas as a former fighter who later became an informant. Accounts portray IDF units entering towns and recruiting or pressuring locals with threats or money to gather intelligence.
