"The process of returning the corpses of Israeli prisoners may require some time, as some of these corpses were buried in tunnels destroyed by the occupation, while others remain under the rubble of buildings it bombed and demolished," the Palestinian militant group said.

Israel has warned that, if Hamas failed to return the bodies, it will resume fighting in Gaza.
