Overview

  • The ICRC received three coffins from Hamas in southern Gaza and transferred them to Israeli forces for examination at the Abu Kabir National Forensic Institute.
  • Israel identified the remains as Capt. Omer Neutra, Sgt. Oz Daniel and Col. Assaf Hamami, with authorities notifying the families.
  • The confirmation lowers the number of deceased hostages believed to remain in Gaza to about eight, with transfers proceeding in small batches.
  • Israel on Monday returned 45 Palestinian bodies to Gaza under the same arrangement, reflecting a reported 15-to-1 exchange ratio; Gaza’s Health Ministry says 78 of 270 bodies returned so far have been identified.
  • A prior handover on Friday of three bodies was determined not to be hostages after Israeli checks, and the remains were sent back to Gaza.
