The Israeli army announced that “Hamas“ has handed over the coffins with the bodies of two hostages to the Red Cross in the Gaza Strip, world agencies reported, quoted by BTA.
We are talking about the remains of two people kidnapped in the unprecedented attack by “Hamas“ against Israel on October 7, 2023. The coffins were later handed over by the Red Cross to the Israeli army.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office confirmed that Israel had received two more bodies of hostages.
So far, “Hamas“ has returned 15 of the 28 bodies of hostages held in Gaza to Israel.
On Monday evening, the group returned to Israel remains that turned out to be parts of a hostage's body that had already been handed over. This, as well as the delays in handing over the bodies of the hostages, angered the Israeli government.
