Al Jazeera reports that the body of a hostage held by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad was recovered in an area north of central Gaza’s Nuseirat.

There has been no announcement yet from Islamic Jihad or Hamas on the planned transfer of the body to Israel.

The bodies of three slain hostages remain held in the Strip — two Israelis and one Thai national: Dror Or, Master Sgt. Ran Gvili and Thai national Sudthisak Rinthalak.
