The Palestinian resistance group Hamas confirmed Friday evening that it will hand over the remains of an Israeli captive tonight under a Gaza ceasefire agreement.
The group’s armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, said on Telegram that the handover will take place at 11.00 pm local time (2000GMT).
The Israeli public broadcaster KAN earlier reported that preparations were underway in Israel to receive the body of another captive after Hamas informed mediators that it had located his body.
