Hamas Hands Israel Another Set of Remains Under Ceasefire Body-Exchange Deal

The ICRC is facilitating transfers under an October agreement that sets a 1-to-15 ratio for reciprocal returns.

Overview

  • Israel says the newly received body will undergo forensic identification and the person has not yet been named.
  • Israeli authorities earlier identified three returned bodies as soldiers Asaf Hamami, Omer Neutra and Oz Daniel.
  • In reciprocation, Israel transferred 45 Palestinian bodies to Gaza on Monday with Red Cross assistance.
  • Hamas has delivered the remains of 20 abductees so far, and confirmation of the latest handover would bring the total to 21.
  • Medico-legal reviews continue after previous misidentifications, and authorities say the remains of eight victims are still outstanding.
