Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and Hamas have handed over to the Red Cross a coffin which the armed groups say contains the body of one of the last three deceased hostages still in Gaza, according to the Israeli military.
The remains will be transferred to Israeli forces, who will take them to Israel's National Institute of Forensic Medicine in Tel Aviv for identification.
Earlier, PIJ and Hamas announced that the body of an Israeli hostage had been found in central Gaza on Monday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office warned that it viewed "with severity the delay in the immediate transfer", saying it constituted a "further violation" of the six-week-old Gaza ceasefire agreement.
"Israel demands the immediate return of the three deceased hostages still being held in the Gaza Strip," it added.
