CAIRO: Hamas&#8217; armed wing said it would hand over the body of an Israeli soldier, Hadar Goldin, who was killed in 2014, at 2pm on Sunday.
It said Goldin&#8217;s body had been located in a tunnel in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip on Saturday.
Goldin, an officer in the Israeli military, was killed by Palestinian rebels in an ambush in Rafah in the 2014 Israel-Hamas war.
Under October&#8217;s ceasefire deal, Hamas turned over all 20 living hostages held in Gaza since the group&#8217;s attack on Israel, in return for nearly 2,000 Palestinian convicts and wartime detainees held in Israel.
The ceasefire agreement also included the return of the remains of 28 deceased hostages in exchange for the remains of 360 rebels.
So far, 23 hostage bodies have been returned in exchange for 300 bodies of Palestinians, though not all have been identified, according to Gaza&#8217;s health authorities.
