Israel has received the body of Lt Hadar Goldin, a soldier killed in an ambush by Hamas in 2014 and whose body has been held in Gaza since then.
The Israeli military said Lt Goldin, who was 23 when he died, was formally identified and will now be buried. He left behind parents, a sister, two brothers, and a fiancée.
Hamas’s armed wing had said yesterday that it would hand over Lt Goldin’s body as part of a ceasefire deal.
Hamas has now returned all 20 living hostages, and 24 out of 28 deceased hostages under the first phase of the deal. End.
