The Islamist terrorist organization Hamas has handed over another body to employees of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in the Gaza Strip. According to Hamas, it is said to be the mortal remains of a hostage kidnapped from Israel. The ICRC employees were on their way with a coffin to representatives of the Israeli army, the Israeli military announced. The identity must then be clarified in a forensic institute in Tel Aviv.

Before the handover, there were still four dead hostages in Gaza, including a foreigner kidnapped from Israel. Hamas declared on Thursday that it had found the body on the same day in Chan Junis in the southern Gaza Strip.
Israel and Hamas had agreed on the handover of bodies as part of the ceasefire agreement in October. According to the agreement, for every Israeli hostage whose mortal remains are released, Israel must hand over the mortal remains of 15 deceased Gaza residents.
