The body returned by the Hamas militant group to Israel Monday night may not belong to one of the hostages, according to a recent assessment after hours of identification at the Abu Kabir forensic agency, Tel Aviv.
Officials said the identification process could take up to two days, although most of the bodies returned by Hamas or those found in Gaza have been identified within hours.
As of this morning, the body that Hamas returned last night has not been identified, and the authorities are increasingly suspicious that the body may not belong to one of the 13 hostages who died whose body is still being held in the Gaza Strip, quoted from The Times of Israe. October 28.
Later, the coffin is thought to contain remains of hostages whose bodies have been brought back to Israel for burial, according to information obtained by The Times of Israel.
As previously reported, Israel said on Monday the Red Cross had handed over the bodies of other hostages from the Gaza Strip, Palestine to the Israeli military, according to a statement from the Israeli Prime Minister's office.
If the identity of the hostages who died is confirmed, it means the bodies of 12 hostages are still in Gaza, with the Palestinian militant group, Hamas, citing obstacles in finding them in the ruins of the remnant fighting.
Earlier on Monday, armed winger group Hamas said it would hand over the body of a hostage he found on Monday in Gaza.
