# Israel has confirmed that it has received the bodies of four hostages from Hamas, as part of the ceasefire agreement. The bodies were handed over to the Red Cross and were named by Hamas as Shlomo Mantzur, Tsachi Idan, Ohad Yahalomi, and Itzhak Elgarat, who were taken during the October seven 2003 attack. However, Israel says DNA tests on the bodies to confirm their identities are still being carried out. Israel is in the process of releasing more than 600 Palestinian prisoners.
