Hamas has handed over three coffins it says contain the bodies of deceased Gaza hostages, according to the Israeli military.
Israel has received the coffins, via the Red Cross in the Gaza Strip, and transported them to Israel for formal identification.
If confirmed as deceased hostages, it would mean eight Israeli and foreign deceased hostages remain in Gaza.
Under the first phase of the US-brokered ceasefire deal with Israel that started last month, Hamas agreed to return the 20 living and 28 dead hostages it was holding.
Israel has accused Hamas of being too slow to return the deceased hostages, while Hamas has said it is working to recover bodies trapped under rubble in the territory.
