O Hamas On Thursday, the bodies of four hostages dead, according to Arab mediators and authorities of Israel will release. This will be the first time the group will surrender prisoners in coffins and, in return, Israel will release all women’s and under 19 years old who were arrested in Gaza since October 8, 2023 and that they were not involved in the fighting.
The release will take place early and expected that Hamas announces the names of the victims on Wednesday, 19. The bodies will be taken in ambulances to the National Center of Forensic Medicine in the Center of Israel, where they will undergo tests to confirm their identities.
Some hostages are believed to have been killed for over a year and higher levels of decomposition may mean more time to confirm their identities.
