'Israel' says received coffin of Gaza captive from Red Cross

The Red Cross handed over to 'Israeli' forces on Tuesday a coffin with the remains of a captive held in Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said.

"Israel has received, via the Red Cross, the coffin of a fallen hostage, which was handed over to an IDF and ISA force inside the Gaza Strip," Netanyahu's office said in a statement, referring to the 'Israeli' military and the security service.

The coffin, received inside the Gaza Strip, will be transferred to 'Israel' for identification of the remains.

Before the latest handover, Hamas still held the bodies of three captives in Gaza.
