The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) did not specify exactly how many coffins were being handed over. In its announcement, the IDF repeated its demand that Hamas hand over the remains of all the deceased hostages.HAMAS HANDS OVER REMAINS OF HOSTAGE WHOSE BODY WAS RECOVERED NEARLY 2 YEARS AGOOn Tuesday, Fox News learned that a coffin handed over to Israel was assessed to contain the remains of a hostage whose body was already brought back to Israel for burial. The remains were later determined to be those of Ofir Tzarfati, whose body was first recovered in 2023.The Hostages and Missing Families Forum said that some of Tzarfati's remains were returned in March 2024 and that in August 2024, Hamas published a photo of his body."This is the third time we have been forced to open Ofir's grave and rebury our son," Tzarfati's family said in a statement. "The circle supposedly 'closed' back in December 2023, but it never truly closes. Since then, we have lived with a wound that constantly reopens, between memory and longing, between bereavement and mission."HAMAS SAYS IT WILL HAND OVER ANOTHER HOSTAGE BODY, AS TRUMP'S 48-HOUR WARNING LOOMSThere are currently 13 deceased hostages whose remains are still in Gaza, including two U.S. citizens, Itay Chen and Omer Neutra.
