Red Cross set to hand over findings belonging to 2 dead Gaza hostages: Israel

Tel Aviv, Dec 2 (UNI) The Israeli Prime Minister's Office has confirmed that the Red Cross is set to hand it over the last of the unspecified "findings" from the Gaza Strip, belonging to the two deceased hostages who are still buried somewhere in the rubble of the war-torn enclave.
These findings will be taken to the Abu Kabir forensic institute in here for examination, with the PMO officials adding that they are in constant contact with the families of the two deceased captives - police Master Sgt. Ran Gvili and Thai national Sudthisak Rinthalak.
