The remains received by Israel do not belong to any of the hostages held by Hamas

According to Reuters, Israeli media reported on Saturday morning, November 1, that the remains received by Israel as part of the latest exchange do not belong to any of the hostages captured by the Palestinian militant group Hamas.

Israeli security forces carried out the identification in specialized laboratories. The results of the analyses showed that the remains are unrelated to the individuals held by Hamas.

The Israeli government continues to negotiate the fate of the remaining hostages. The search for information about survivors and determining their whereabouts remain an essential part of the diplomatic talks between the parties involved.
