Hamas set to hand over remains of captive later on Tuesday

Hamas' military wings, Saraya al-Quds and the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, said on Tuesday they will hand over to Israel the remains of a captive at 4 pm (1400 GMT).

The armed wing of Islamic Jihad said it had located the body of a captive on Monday during search operations in the central Gaza Strip.

Hamas released all the living captives and returned the remains of 25 of 28 dead captives, in line with the ceasefire that came into effect on 10 October.

In exchange, Israel has released nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners into its custody and returned the bodies of hundreds of dead Palestinians.
