Israel warudisha miili 91 ya wa palestina waliokuwa wakifanya mapiganodhidi yao
Israel has handed over to the Palestinian Authority the remains of 91 Palestinians who died carrying out attacks against Israel.
The remains include suicide bombers and militants who died in operations as far back as 1975.
The repatriation of the bodies forms part of a deal to end a mass hunger strike by hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
Israeli officials say the transfer is a confidence-building gesture.
However, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has given no indication that he is willing to return to talks.
Coffins containing the remains, which had been interred in numbered graves in an Israeli military cemetery for "enemy combatants", were handed over at dawn.
