DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip—Israel received the remains of another hostage from Gaza on Friday, the prime minister’s office said, a handover from Hamas as the terrorist group worked to shore up a ceasefire by using bulldozers in a search for bodies under the rubble in the war-scarred enclave.
The Israeli military and security forces received the coffin from the International Committee of the Red Cross inside the Gaza Strip, and it was to be sent to the Ministry of Health’s National Center for Forensic Medicine in Israel.
