Israel received from the Red Cross findings belonging to three bodies, which were transferred to the National Center of Forensic Medicine for examination. On Saturday morning, Israel Hayom learned that according to the results, the remains are not any of the deceased hostages.
In a statement, the Red Cross said it "assisted this evening, at the request of and with the agreement of both parties, in the transfer of the remains of three bodies to the Israeli authorities."
On Thursday, Israel identified the deceased hostages Amiram Cooper and Sahar Baruch, who had been returned by Hamas.
Cooper was the last remaining hostage from Kibbutz Nir Oz held in Gaza, while Baruch was kidnapped alive from Kibbutz Be'eri and later murdered.
