The IDF says the Red Cross has notified the military that it has collected a casket, with the apparent body of a slain hostage, from Hamas in southern Gaza a short while ago.
The Red Cross is now bringing the casket to IDF troops inside Gaza, where a small ceremony, led by a military rabbi, will be held.
