The Palestinian movement Hamas will hand over the bodies of three more Israeli hostages to the International Committee of the Red Cross, the movement's military wing, the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, announced on its Telegram channel.
“As part of the agreement, we will hand over the bodies of three more hostages, who were found today in the southern Gaza Strip, to medics”, the statement said. The radicals published a photo of the documents of one of the hostages and claim that his remains will be handed over at 8:00 p.m. local time. There is no information about where in the enclave the medical personnel will receive the bodies of the deceased hostages.
On October 9, Israel and Hamas, with the mediation of Egypt, Qatar, the United States and Turkey, agreed to implement the first phase of the peace plan presented by US President Donald Trump. The ceasefire in Gaza, according to the Trump plan, came into effect on October 10.
On October 13, Hamas released the 20 surviving Israeli hostages and handed over the remains of four deceased prisoners. Israeli authorities expressed dissatisfaction with the radicals for returning only four of the 28 bodies. In the following days, Hamas handed over the bodies of several more deceased to the Israeli state.
