A group allied with Hamas says it is searching for the body of a hostage in northern Gaza with a team from the Red Cross.
The announcement from the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, the Al Quds Brigades, comes a day after Hamas handed over remains to Israel via the Red Cross, which Israel said today did not belong to either of the two remaining hostages.
The bodies of Israeli Ran Gvili and Thai national Sudthisak Rinthalak are still being held in Gaza.
