Overview

  • The Prime Minister’s Office said the body delivered a day earlier was identified as Tal Haimi, who was killed defending Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak on October 7, 2023, and whose remains were taken to Gaza.
  • Israeli authorities received another unidentified coffin via the International Committee of the Red Cross, with the remains transferred to the National Forensic Center in Tel Aviv for identification.
  • Government figures state that 28 hostages died in captivity, with 12 to 13 bodies repatriated so far and roughly 15 believed still to be recovered if the latest case is confirmed.
  • Hamas says it released the surviving captives and cites difficulties locating bodies under Gaza’s rubble as the reason for incomplete returns.
  • Gaza’s Health Ministry alleges some returned Palestinian bodies show signs of restraints, wounds and burns and seeks a UN inquiry, while Israel’s Prison Service denies prisoner mistreatment and says detainees receive lawful care.
