Israel has received, via the Red Cross, the coffin of an unidentified Israeli hostage held in Gaza, the Prime Minister's Office said on Monday, reported Xinhua.
The statement said the coffin was handed over to the Israeli army and the Shin Bet domestic security agency inside Gaza and will be transferred to Israel.
The body will undergo identification at the National Center for Forensic Medicine in Tel Aviv, after which the family will be notified.
Israel estimates that 28 hostages have died in captivity. Hamas has previously returned 12 bodies. If the identity of the body returned on Monday is confirmed, 15 of the deceased would still remain in Gaza.
