The four coffins of the slain hostages, Shiri, Ariel, and Kfir Bibas, as well as Oded Lifshitz, arrived at the L. Greenberg Institute of Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir for identification on Thursday.
At the end of the identification process, an official announcement will be given to the families.
The coffins entered Israeli territory accompanied by IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) forces.
Following their transfer to the Israeli security forces in Gaza from the Red Cross, the coffins underwent X-ray screening for security reasons, the military noted.
Upon reception of the coffins, they were wrapped with Israeli flags, and the Military Rabbinate chief, Brigadier-General Rabbi Eyal Krim, recited Psalm 83. IDF officers transported the vehicles to the vehicles.
The IDF added that the episode was dutifully recorded with photos and videos but that nothing will be distributed to the public until and if the families of the deceased so approve.
Hamas transfers coffins to Red Cross
Earlier, Hamas terrorists transferred the coffins from a stage in Khan Yunis to the Red Cross vehicles, with spectators viewing them.
N12 reported that the Red Cross refused to take part in Hamas’s ceremony, with the terror group threatening not to transfer the slain hostages.
According to Israeli media, Hamas transferred the coffins locked with keys that did not fit.
