Hamas hands over three deceased hostages

Hamas has handed over the ostensible remains of three deceased hostages, yesterday evening, to the Red Cross.

If the bodies are confirmed to be Israeli hostages, that leaves eight more deceased hostages in Gaza.

A statement from Hamas stated that the bodies were recovered from a tunnel. Hamas published a picture showing a body bag with the name of a deceased hostage on it. Two other bodies were not named.

Prior to this Hamas handed over two bodies on Thursday.

Handing over the bodies of deceased hostages are among the conditions laid out in the 20 point plan between Hamas and Israel. Hamas is required to return all 20 living hostages within 72 hours along with 28 deceased hostages.
