The Saudi channel Al-Hadath reports that the bodies of some deceased hostages in Hamas captivity will be transferred to the Red Cross this afternoon.
The report does not indicate how many bodies will be transferred.
Twenty-eight bodies are believed to be held, although Israel has said that 26 hostages have been confirmed dead, and there are grave fears for the other two. Hamas has said it could face difficulties locating some of their bodies, and Israel is aware of this.
