Teams from the Red Cross and from the al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing, are conducting a search for the remains of an “Israeli prisoner” in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahiya, Al Jazeera reports.

Beit Lahiya lies on the Hamas-controlled side of the Gaza ceasefire line.

The remains of two hostages killed on October 7, 2023, are still in Gaza: Police Master Sgt. Ran Gvili, killed fending off the Hamas invasion at Kibbutz Alumim; and Sudthisak Rinthalak, a Thai national killed in Kibbutz Be’eri, where he worked in agriculture.
