Israel is preparing to soon receive “findings” from Gaza, an Israeli security source said on Tuesday at about 1 p.m. The source said it is unclear if the remains belong to a hostage.
About an hour later, Hamas announced that it is transferring the body of a deceased hostage to Israel. The terror organization did not provide further details.
Earlier on Tuesday, the report was confirmed by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s office. The statement said that the findings will be sent to Abu Kabir for identification.
“The authorities are in continuous contact with the families of the two deceased hostages,” the statement added.
Gazan media outlets claimed that Hamas found remains on Sunday during a search for hostages’ bodies.
The bodies of two hostages, Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, H’yd, and Thai national Sudthisak Rinthalak, are still in Gaza, in blatant violation of the ceasefire stipulations.
