Hamas says to hand over another Gaza hostage body today

Hamas’s armed wing said it would hand over the remains of another hostage on Tuesday as required under the US-brokered ceasefire deal with Israel in Gaza.

The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades “will hand over the body of one of the occupation’s prisoners, which was found in the Shujaiya neighbourhood east of Gaza City at 8:00pm Gaza time (1800 GMT),” the group said on its Telegram channel.

Of the 28 deceased hostages Hamas agreed to hand over to Israel under the deal, it has so far returned 20 — including 18 Israelis, one Thai national and one Nepali. –Agencies
