BBC World Service - Newshour, Protests in Israel as hostage body recovered

The Israeli says it recovered the body of Elad Katzir in an operation overnight

The Israeli says it recovered the body of Elad Katzir in an operation overnight.

The Israeli military has recovered the body of a hostage in Gaza. It accused the Islamic Jihad group of murdering Elad Katzir, who was snatched from a kibbutz in southern Israel during the Hamas attacks in October. His sister blamed the Israeli government for his death, saying it had failed to strike a second ceasefire deal to allow his release. There have also been protests in Israel demanding the release of all the remaining hostages in Gaza. 

It’s six months since the beginning of the war in Gaza – we speak to our chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet in Jerusalem.
