Overview
- Israeli authorities said a coffin transferred via the International Committee of the Red Cross in Gaza was forensically identified as 73-year-old Meny Godard of Kibbutz Be’eri.
- Militant groups said the body was recovered in the Khan Younis area before being handed to the Red Cross and then to the IDF and Shin Bet for transfer and identification.
- Three deceased hostages remain in Gaza: Israelis Ran Gvili and Dror Or, and Thai national Sudthisak Rinthalak, according to Israeli officials and advocacy groups.
- Under the U.S.-brokered ceasefire, verified returns of Israeli hostages’ remains drive reciprocal transfers of Palestinian bodies at a reported 15-for-1 ratio, alongside earlier releases of nearly 2,000 prisoners.
- The IDF reported six ceasefire violations between November 7 and 12 involving crossings of the Yellow Line, and it assesses about 200 Hamas operatives remain in Rafah tunnels as reported deportation talks lack a country willing to receive them.
