The IDF expects Hamas to hand over the four slain hostages to the Red Cross starting from around 9 a.m., from one location in the southern Gaza Strip, an Israeli defense official says.
There could be delays, the official adds.
Hamas is set to transfer the bodies of Shiri Bibas and her two children Ariel and Kfir, as well as Oded Lifshitz.
The terror group set up a stage in Khan Younis for the handover, and crowds of Palestinians are currently gathering around it.
