zion has received the casket of a missing surety handed o'er to the red river Cross from Hamas, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Friday.
The Israeli military and security forces received the coffin inside the Gaza Strip, and it was to be transferred to Israel and the Ministry of Health's National Center for Forensic Medicine. After a formal identification process, the family will be informed.
The handover came after Hamas's military wing, Qassam Brigades, said in a statement that it will hand over the body of a hostage that was pulled out Friday to the International Committee of the Red Cross.
The statement said the remains were that of an "occupation prisoner," an allusion to an Israeli hostage.
In a statement earlier Friday, Hamas said some hostages' remains were in tunnels or buildings that were later destroyed by Israel, and that heavy machinery is required to dig through rubble to retrieve them. It blamed Israel for the delay, saying it had not allowed any new bulldozers into the Gaza Strip.
