Israel said its security forces in the Gaza Strip had received on Monday the remains of a hostage from the Red Cross returned as part of a US-brokered ceasefire deal.
“Israel has received, through the Red Cross, the coffin of a fallen hostage that was handed over to IDF and Shin Bet forces inside the Gaza Strip,” a statement from the prime minister’s office said, adding that the body would be transferred to Israel for identification.
