The casket containing the apparent remains of a dead hostage has been brought out of the Gaza Strip by troops, the military says. The body is now escorted by the police to the Abu Kabir forensic institute in Tel Aviv for identification, a process which officials have said may take up to two days. Hamas did not provide the identity of the hostage it handed over.
