Hamas hands over one of two last hostage bodies in Gaza, Red Cross says
Hamas handed over remains of one of the last two deceased hostages via the Red Cross for forensic testing to identify and notify families, part of a US-brokered ceasefire deal.
- On Dec 2, Hamas handed over the remains of one of the last two deceased hostages in Gaza to the International Committee of the Red Cross under the October ceasefire, Israeli police said Tuesday.
- Under the US-brokered October ceasefire, Palestinian militants have been handing over living hostages and remains, with the Geneva-based International Committee of the Red Cross facilitating releases throughout the war.
- The Red Cross moved the remains, with police saying they are `currently escorting, with reverence, the coffin to the National Centre of Forensic Medicine`, and Netanyahu's office confirmed findings will go to Israel for testing.
- Forensic testing will be carried out by the National Centre of Forensic Medicine, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said formal notification will follow after identification, with the Captives and Missing Directorate in contact with families of the hostages.
- The transfer comes as the two remaining deceased hostages are named as Ran Gvili and Sudthisak Rinthalak, both kidnapped during Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack, while Gaza's Health Ministry reports more than 70,100 Palestinian deaths.
