A convoy of IDF vehicles, escorted by the Israel Police, carrying coffins apparently containing the bodies of four slain Israeli hostages arrived at the Abu Kabir forensic institute in Tel Aviv a short while ago.

Dozens of Israelis waving Israeli flags waited on the sides of a road outside the institute.

The identification process could take up to 48 hours.
