Red Cross transfers Israeli captive’s body to army in Gaza

The Israeli army says the Red Cross has received the body of one Israeli captive from Gaza as part of the ongoing ceasefire deal with Hamas.

“According to information provided by the Red Cross, a coffin of a deceased hostage has been transferred into its custody and is on the way to IDF troops in the Gaza Strip,” the military said.

Israel’s military has used the handover of bodies to justify renewed aggression in Gaza, despite the fragile truce, as it continues to violate ceasefire terms while maintaining its blockade on aid and movement.
