An Israeli security official has reported that Hamas has transferred four bodies to the Red Cross. This development comes as Israel prepares to release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in the near future. The release of these bodies marks the final phase of the hostage and prisoner exchange under the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel, which was established last month.
As part of the agreement, Israel is expected to release the prisoners following the positive identification of the deceased hostages. The bodies, which were handed over by Hamas, are currently being examined for identification purposes by a team of experts from the National Center for Forensic Medicine at the Kerem Shalom border crossing.
