The Red Cross is on its way into Gaza to collect the bodies of hostages being returned by Hamas, according to the Israeli military.
In a statement, the IDF and Israeli intelligence agency Shin Bet say the Red Cross is heading to a meeting point in southern Gaza, where "several coffins of deceased abductees will be handed over to it".
"The IDF is prepared to receive coffins of additional deceased abductees that will be transferred to the Red Cross later," the statement adds.
The statement does not specify which of the deceased hostages' bodies the Red Cross will be collecting, and advises against speculation.
Earlier, Hamas's military wing provided the names of four hostages whose bodies it said would be returned today.
