Israel said its security forces in the Gaza Strip had received from the Red Cross the remains of three hostages returned on Sunday by Hamas as part of a US-brokered ceasefire deal.
“Israel has received, through the Red Cross, the coffins of three fallen hostages that were handed over to IDF and Shin Bet forces inside the Gaza Strip,” a statement from the prime minister’s office said, adding the remains would be transferred to a forensic medical centre for identification.
