In the identification process, the Israeli Forensics, the Police and the Military Rabbi have been involved. On the other hand, the FDI reiterates that "Hamas must comply with its part of the agreement and make every effort to ensure that the murdered hostages are returned to their families and properly buried."
With the latter, 11 of the 28 dead held by Hamas have already been handed over, leaving 15 bodies still buried in the Gaza Strip.
Since the beginning of the Israeli offensive, more than 68,000 people have been killed and 170,000 injured in Gaza, according to local authorities, and the number of deaths is increasing every day with the bodies being found in the rubble of Gaza.
