Israeli troops have retrieved a casket believed to contain the remains of a hostage from the Gaza Strip. The body is being transported to the Abu Kabir forensic institute in Tel Aviv, where identification procedures are underway and may take up to two days. The identity of the individual has not been disclosed by the group that handed over the body. If confirmed as a hostage, this would mean that the remains of 18 other hostages are still held in Gaza.
