Hamas releases body of 75-year-old hostage who they murdered on October 7 - as Israel says they will 'spare no effort' until all hostage's bodes are returned

 Hamas has returned the body of a 75-year-old hostage who was murdered in his home on October 7. 

Eliyahu Margalit was killed in Kibbutz Nir Oz during the terror attack just over two years ago, which left at least 1,219 people dead.

His body was abducted from the stables as he was feeding horses and taken into Gaza, according to the IDF, who confirmed his death on December 1 that year.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Mr Margalit's body was returned overnight and his family have since been informed.

He added that Israel would 'not compromise' and 'will spare no effort' until all of the remaining 18 hostages are returned from Gaza.

Mr Margalit is the tenth hostage body to be released by Hamas since the ceasefire went into effect over a week ago. 

The terror group were supposed to release all living and dead hostages on Monday under the Donald-Trump-brokered deal, but claim they have been unable to retrieve more from Gaza's rubble without specialised excavation equipment. 

The violation of the US-backed ceasefire has sparked fury in Israel, with President Trump warning that the war could resume if Hamas failed to uphold the ceasefire arrangement.
