An IDF spokesman and the Shin Bet press office said that “the Red Cross is heading to a meeting point in the south of the Gaza Strip, where it will be handed over the coffin containing the hostage’s body.” “The IDF asks for sensitivity and to wait for the outcome of the official identification, which will first be provided to the families of the hostages. Hamas is obliged to respect the agreement and make all necessary efforts to return the bodies of the abducted,” the IDF and Shin Bet said.
