Israel on Sunday received the bodies of what Hamas said are three more deceased hostages held in Gaza. The remains were transferred to Israel via the Red Cross and taken to the country’s national forensics laboratory for identification.

Israel has received the bodies of three more captives from Hamas and taken them to the National Institute for Forensic Medicine to be examined and identified, the Israeli Defense Forces said Sunday.

Al-Bursh said recently that many of the bodies handed over appear to be fighters or others killed during the 2023 attack.
