Jerusalem, October 18 (Xinhua) — The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) received a coffin containing the body of an unidentified Israeli hostage held in Gaza from the Red Cross, the IDF said in a statement released Saturday morning.
On social media, the Israeli army wrote that the coffin, accompanied by IDF soldiers, was delivered to Israel and was being sent to the National Institute of Forensic Medicine in Tel Aviv for identification.
The IDF called on the public to "be sensitive and await the results of the official identification, which will first be communicated to the families of the deceased hostages."
This is the 10th body of an Israeli hostage handed over by Hamas this week. Under the first phase of the peace plan, the group is required to return 28 bodies.
On Monday, Hamas released the 20 surviving Israeli hostages held in Gaza for two years. –0–
