STORY: A convoy carrying the remains of a deceased hostage returned by Hamas arrived at the National Center of Forensic Medicine in Tel Aviv on Saturday (October 18) morning.

Earlier on Saturday, Israel said that the Red Cross had turned over the body of another deceased hostage from Gaza to Israel's military amid a dispute over delays in the return of remains under the ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel.

In a statement on Friday (October 17), Hamas' armed wing said a new body had been recovered and would be released at 11 p.m. local time. An Israeli security source said the handover to the Red Cross was scheduled for 12:30 a.m. in Israel (2130 GMT).

This was the 10th deceased hostage Israel has received out of 28 bodies held in Gaza. Hamas, citing technical problems, has said it needed heavy machinery and excavating equipment to speed up the process of locating bodies buried under rubble. Israel, insisting Hamas knows the whereabouts of the hostages' bodies, had said the group was running out of time.
