Citing an unnamed source in Hamas’s military wing, Al Jazeera reports that the body of a hostage was recovered during a search earlier today in the Tuffah neighborhood of Gaza City.

According to the report, Hamas will coordinate with the Red Cross on transferring the body to Israel.

It does not provide details regarding the identity of the deceased hostage it purports was found, or on the timing of the handover, should one take place.
