Israel has confirmed it has received a coffin Hamas says contains the body of another hostage.
Red Cross vehicles collected the body hours after Hamas issued a joint statement with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad saying it had located it in the Khan Younis area of southern Gaza.
The Israeli prime minister's office said the body will be transferred to Israel, where it will be received at a military ceremony before undergoing an identification process.
Confirmation that it belongs to a hostage would mean 25 out of 28 deceased hostages have been handed over to Israel under the first phase of the current ceasefire deal which forms part of a US plan to end the Gaza war.
Under the ceasefire deal, Hamas agreed to return the 20 living and 28 dead hostages it was still holding.
