Hamas announces that it will hand over three hostages’ bodies this evening at 8 p.m.

According to the statement, the hostages’ bodies were recovered today from a tunnel.

Hamas published a picture showing a body bag with the name of a deceased hostage on it. The other two were not named. The terror group has previously transferred remains that did not belong to hostages held in Gaza.

Eleven deceased hostages remain held in the Strip.
