Red Cross vehicles are now heading to a handover site in Gaza City to collect the apparent remains of a deceased hostage from Hamas, the IDF says.

Hamas did not identify the hostage whose body it is set to hand over.

The terror group said that it had located the body today in Gaza City’s Shejaiya neighborhood.
