Hamas handed over another coffin with the remains of an Israeli hostage to the Red Cross, who in turn delivered the body to Israeli officials, the Israeli military said on Tuesday.

The Red Cross brought the coffin to Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office confirmed. The remains are set to be transferred into Israel, where a military rabbi will perform a military ceremony, Netanyahu’s office added. 

Following the ceremony, the National Center of Forensic Medicine will conduct an identification process, and then the hostage’s family will receive notification.

Hamas earlier said that it found the body of an Israeli soldier who had been held hostage in Gaza, Reuters reported. Hamas said the body was found in Shejaia, an eastern suburb of Gaza City in an area still occupied by Israeli forces, after Israel granted access to the location for teams from Hamas and the International Committee of the Red Cross.
