Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office has confirmed that Hamas will return the bodies of four slain hostages to Israel tonight.
The agreement between Israel and Hamas ensures the bodies will be handed over without any public ceremony by the militant group ahead of the transfer.
The identities of the four hostages have not been officially released in this statement, but earlier reports indicated that the bodies of Tsahi Idan, Ohad Yahalomi, Itzik Elgarat, and Shlomo Mantzur were expected to be returned.
