An Israeli security official has confirmed that the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has received the remains of four hostages who were killed while in Hamas captivity. The coffins containing the remains are currently being transported to Israeli forces at the Kerem Shalom crossing. Israeli authorities are expected to carry out forensic identification near the border to confirm the identities of the remains.
This process is part of fulfilling the terms of a proposed prisoner exchange, in which Israel would release over 600 Palestinian prisoners if Hamas meets its obligations.
