Remains returned to Israel by Hamas not of hostages, says Institute of Forensic Medicine
Hamas handed over the remains on Friday night to Red Cross intermediaries, but had not specified which remains it was returning.
Red Cross transports the remains of a deceased hostage, who had been held in Gaza since the deadly October 7, 2023, attack, after it was handed over by Hamas as part of a ceasefire and a hostages-prisoners swap deal between Hamas and Israel, in Gaza City, October 27, 2025.(photo credit: REUTERS/DAWOUD ABU ALKAS)ByJERUSALEM POST STAFFUpdated:
