The bodies of two more hostages killed in the Gaza Strip will be handed over to Israel at 22:00 local time in Gaza (coincides with Moscow time). This was announced on October 18 by the military wing of the radical Palestinian Hamas movement, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam brigades.

"As part of the prisoner exchange deal, the Al-Qassam brigades will hand over the bodies of two prisoners of the occupation forces, who were recovered today in the Gaza Strip at 22:00 Gaza time," the organization's Telegram channel said.

Earlier in the day, Red Cross staff handed over to Israel the remains of another hostage who died in the sector.
