CAIRO, November 7. /TASS/. Hamas’ armed wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, has said it will hand over to Red Cross medics the body of one more deceased Israeli hostage.

"As part of the deal [on the exchange of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners] Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades and Saraya al-Quds (Jerusalem Brigades, an armed wing of Islamic Jihad - TASS) fighters will hand over the body of one more Israeli hostage," it said in a post on its Telegram channel, adding that the transfer will take place at 9:00 p.m. local time (7:00 p.m. GMT).

Israel and Hamas resumed Egypt-, Qatar-, United States-, and Turkey-mediated indirect talks on settling the situation in the Gaza Strip on October 6. On October 9, the parties to the conflict signed an agreement on the implementation of phase one of US President Donald Trump’s Gaza ceasefire plan. The ceasefire came into effect on October 10. On October 13, Hamas and other Palestinian groups released all 20 living hostages and handed over the bodies of four deceased hostages under the Gaza ceasefire deal. The Israeli side expressed resentment that Hamas returned only four out of 28 bodies of deceased hostages. Later, Hamas transferred several more bodies to Israel. By now, Hamas has returned the remains of 22 deceased hostages and continue holding six more bodies.
