The Israeli military said Monday that the Red Cross was en route to receive the body of a deceased hostage held by militants in Gaza, the 16th since a ceasefire began.
“The Red Cross is on its way to the meeting point in the northern Gaza Strip, where a coffin of a deceased hostage will be transferred into its custody,” the military said in a statement.
Hamas has so far returned the remains of 15 of the 28 deceased hostages since a US-brokered ceasefire took effect on October 10.
