Displaced persons in Gaza.

The Al Qasam Brigades, an armed wing of Hamas, handed over another body this Sunday afternoon, which reports could be the body of Israeli soldier Hadar Goldin , the only one not captured by the Israeli Army lieutenant on 7 October 2023, who died in 2014 in an Israeli offensivein Gaza.

"Israel has received a dead man's chest in Shin Bet (within the Gaza Strip), through the Red Cross and the Defence Forces of Israel (FDI), from where he will be transferred to Israel," the Israeli Prime Minister's office has confirmed.

The identity of the body will be confirmed by the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute in Tel Aviv.

According to Al Qasam in a statement, the body was found saturday in a tunnel at the Yebna camp in Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip.

Hamas has repeatedly denounced that since the entry into force of the ceasefire, the Israeli armed forces have not allowed it into Rafah, even though they believed the soldier's body was there.

According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the White House has declared to Hamas that "the return of Goldin's body could contribute to thereleaseof 100-150 Hamas militiamen . "

If the identity of the body is confirmed, onlythe remains of the four Israelis remain in Gaza, where 24 bodieshave already been handed over by Palestinian militias.
