'Israeli' forensic experts are expected to determine the identity of the remains once they are brought into 'Israel' from Gaza.
"Israel has received, via the Red Cross, the coffin of a fallen hostage that was transferred to IDF and Shin Bet personnel inside the Gaza Strip," the prime minister's office said in a statement.
Goldin, who was killed in Gaza in 2014, has remained one of the most sensitive and high-profile cases for 'Israeli' authorities. His body, along with that of another soldier, Aharon Shulov, has long been central to negotiations regarding the Gaza Strip.
