Overview

  • Israeli authorities confirmed the body returned earlier was identified as Tal Haimi, a 41-year-old subofficer killed defending Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak on October 7, 2023.
  • The IDF and Shin Bet said two additional coffins crossed from Gaza and were taken to the National Forensic Medicine Institute for identification procedures.
  • If confirmed, the new arrivals would raise to 15 the number of deceased hostages transferred under the deal, out of 28 bodies Hamas committed to return.
  • A prior handover included a body later determined not to be an Israeli hostage, highlighting misidentification risks in Gaza recoveries facilitated by the Red Cross.
  • Gaza’s Health Ministry alleged signs of bindings and injuries on some returned bodies and sought a UN probe, claims Israeli officials dispute as leaders caution that some remains may be unrecoverable under rubble.
