Israel has received human remains believed to be those of Officer Hadar Goldin, killed in the 2014 Gaza war, from Hamas via the Red Cross. Forensic experts will confirm the identification, which would make Goldin the 24th deceased hostage whose remains have been returned since the October 10 ceasefire.

• Hamas' armed wing claims to have found Goldin's remains in a tunnel in Rafah.
• Goldin was killed on August 1, 2014, when militants ambushed his team and seized his body, which had been held in Gaza since.
• Israel has released nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and returned hundreds of bodies in exchange for 20 living hostages and 23 deceased captives' remains.
• The family of Staff Sergeant Itay Chen, a dual Israeli-US national killed on October 7, 2023, laid him to rest after his body was returned last week.
• The October 7, 2023 attack resulted in 1,221 deaths on the Israeli side, mostly civilians, while 69,176 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed by Israeli retaliatory actions.
