Israel said the Red Cross is heading to a meeting point in the Gaza Strip and is expected to receive “several coffins of deceased hostages” from Hamas.
Israel announced Thursday that it had received information indicating that the Red Cross is on its way to a meeting point in the central Gaza Strip, “where several coffins of deceased hostages will be transferred into its custody” from Hamas.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) did not specify exactly how many coffins were being handed over. In its announcement, the IDF repeated its demand that Hamas hand over the remains of all the deceased hostages.
On Tuesday, Fox News learned that a coffin handed over to Israel was assessed to contain the remains of a hostage whose body was already brought back to Israel for burial.
