Militant Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have handed over another body to staff of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
The remains are those of a hostage abducted from Israel, Hamas and Islamic Jihad said on Tuesday.
The Red Cross staff are on their way to representatives of the Israeli army with a coffin, the military said, adding that the identity of the remains must then be clarified at a forensic institute in Tel Aviv.

Before the handover, there were still three dead hostages in Gaza, including a Thai national kidnapped from Israel.
Israel and Hamas agreed on the handover of bodies as part of the ceasefire agreement in October.
According to the agreement, for every Israeli hostage whose remains are handed over, Israel must hand over the remains of 15 deceased Gaza residents.
