Israel is expecting more hostage bodies to be returned later tonight, a senior Israeli official tells The Times of Israel.
The remains of seven hostages have been released as part of the ongoing Gaza deal, as well as the body of an unidentified person whom Hamas insists is an IDF soldier.
The Qatari Al-Arabi channel reports that Hamas will hand over tonight to Israel the bodies of 5 hostages.
