Gaza, Hamas to return hostage body at 4pm local time
The bodies of three slain hostages are still being held in the Gaza Strip: Dror Or, Ran Gvili and the Thai citizen Sudthisak Rinthalak.
Hamas announced that they, together with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, will hand over the body of a hostage to Israel at 4pm local time.
The body was found yesterday in the Nuseirat district in the centre of the Gaza Strip, according to Islamic Jihad.
The bodies of three slain hostages are still being held in the Gaza Strip: Dror Or, Ran Gvili and the Thai citizen Sudthisak Rinthalak.
The announcement came after the Israeli premier's office denounced the delay in handing over the body, calling it 'another violation of the agreement' of the ceasefire.
"In light of Islamic Jihad's announcement that it has located the remains of a slain hostage," reads the note circulated by the PM's office, "Israel regards the delay in their immediate handover as very serious. This constitutes another violation of the agreement'.
