JERUSALEM: The bodies of four hostages held in Gaza and handed over to the Red Cross by Hamas on Monday have been brought back to Israel, the military said. The remains in four coffins were now being taken to the National Institute for Forensic Medicine, “where identification procedures will be carried out,” the military said in a statement. The handover of the bodies was part of a ceasefire agreement brokered by US President Donald Trump between Israel and Hamas. Earlier on Monday, Hamas freed all 20 surviving hostages it had been holding since October 7, 2023, as part of the agreement.
