Israel has received via the Red Cross a coffin which Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) say contains the body of one of the last two deceased hostages still in Gaza, according to the Israeli prime minister's office.
Israeli forces will now transfer the bodies to Israel's National Institute of Forensic Medicine in Tel Aviv for identification.
PIJ's military wing announced earlier that it had found a hostage's body in northern Gaza.
The handover came hours after the Israeli prime minister's office said tests showed another set of remains received from Hamas on Tuesday did not belong to either of the dead hostages.
One of the two men is Ran Gvili, a 24-year-old Israeli police officer and the other is Suthisak Rintalak, a 43-year-old Thai agricultural worker.
