The Israeli military said the Red Cross received the remains of a hostage held in Gaza on Tuesday, as part of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.
"According to information provided by the Red Cross, a coffin of a deceased hostage has been transferred into its custody and is on the way to [Israeli] troops in the Gaza Strip," the army said in a statement.
Before the latest handover, militants still held the bodies of three hostages in Gaza.
