Israel National News reports: “One of the four bodies handed over to Israel by Hamas does not belong to an Israeli hostage but to a Gazan, a security official said following identification attempts at the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute.

According to another security source, the fourth body is that of a Gazan wearing an IDF uniform.

According to the first source, 21 deceased hostages remain in Hamas captivity, and additional bodies are expected to be transferred to Israel on Wednesday.
