The Prime Minister's Office, today :

Israel has received, via the Red Cross, the coffin of a fallen hostage, which was handed over to an IDF and ISA force inside the Gaza Strip, where it will be received in a military ceremony with the participation of an IDF Rabbi.

The coffin will then be transferred to Israel, to the Health Ministry National Center of Forensic Medicine.

Upon completion of the identification process and as per the findings, formal notification will be delivered to the family.

The Hostages and Missing Directorate is in continuous contact with the families of the fallen hostages; we are with them in this difficult hour. The effort to return our hostages is ongoing and will not cease until the last hostage is returned.

The public is requested to respect the families' privacy and to refrain from spreading rumors and unofficial and unverified information.

We will continue to provide updates with reliable information as necessary.
