Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announced on Sunday that Israel has received the remains of three Israeli hostages from Hamas through the Red Cross and confirmed that they were recovered by IDF and Shin Bet forces in the Gaza Strip, according to a statement.
The announcement said the bodies would be transferred to Israel, where they will be honored in a military ceremony led by the military chief rabbi.
