Islamic Jihad hands over body of Israeli captive

Palestinian group Islamic Jihad handed over the body of a deceased captive late on Friday as part of the Gaza ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. 

The Israeli military confirmed on Saturday it had obtained the body of Lior Rudaeff after identifying him. 

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's official added that a coffin carrying the remains of Rudaeff was handed over to Israeli forces via the Red Cross. 

Islamic Jihad said Rudaeff, who was taken from Kibbutz Nir Yitzchak on October 7, was found in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis.
