Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip have received a casket containing what are believed to be the remains of a dead hostage, according to an announcement from the Prime Minister's Office. The casket was handed over by the Red Cross after being collected from Hamas in Khan Younis. Military personnel are preparing to inspect the casket, drape it in an Israeli flag, and hold a brief ceremony led by a military rabbi. The remains will subsequently be transported to a forensic institute in Tel Aviv for identification to confirm whether they belong to a slain hostage.
