The Palestinian Islamist organization Hamas has handed over another body to staff of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in the Gaza Strip.
The remains are said to be of a hostage abducted from Israel, Hamas said on Thursday.
The Red Cross staff are on their way with a coffin to representatives of the Israeli army, the Israeli military stated. The identity must then be clarified at a forensic institute in Tel Aviv, it said.
Before the handover, there were still the bodies of four dead hostages in the Gaza Strip, including a foreigner abducted from Israel.
Hamas had announced on Thursday that they had found the body on the same day in Khan Younis 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 each Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel must hand over the remains of 15 deceased residents of Gaza.
