Hamas hands over remains of one of last two deceased captives

Israeli police said on Tuesday they had received from Hamas remains that are of one of the last two deceased captives in the Gaza Strip. 

The last two remaining captives are Israeli Ran Gvili and Thai national Sudthisak Rinthalak. The remains will be identified at the country's forensic institute. 

As part of the ceasefire deal, Hamas is expected to return the bodies of 28 captives in exchange for 360 deceased Palestinians held by Israel. Israel should have returned 390 Palestinians, but has estimated to have returned 345 only so far. Many of the deceased showed signs of mutilation or torture.

Only 99 of the Palestinians returned have been identified so far, since Israel has not provided details of those whom it has returned, and Gaza does not have a forensic institute.
