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