The military has announced that the caskets containing the remains of four slain hostages will soon be escorted out of the Gaza Strip by troops. Before their transfer, a small ceremony will be held in their memory, with the caskets draped in national flags and troops reciting psalms. The bodies, handed over by Hamas to the Red Cross, will be taken to a forensic institute in Tel Aviv for identification, a process expected to take up to two days. The hostages have been identified as Guy Illouz, Yossi Sharabi, Bipin Joshi, and Daniel Perez.
