'Israel' identifies latest returned body as former Thai captive

'Israel' on Sunday confirmed that the second of two bodies returned overnight by Hamas was that of a Thai killed during the October 7, 2023 attack, whose body was taken to Gaza.

The prime minister's office said the military had informed the family of the deceased captive.

Under a US-brokered ceasefire agreement, Hamas has returned all 20 surviving captives and the remains of 12 deceased ones.

Under the terms of the agreement, Hamas was to hand over all of the captives, dead and alive, before Monday at 0900 GMT.

Hamas has said it needs time and technical assistance to recover the remaining bodies from under Gaza's rubble.
