Hamas repatriates remains of two additional captives, says it has delivered all those it could; Israel threatens military action

Gaza City, Oct 16 (UNI) Hamas has found the remains of two more deceased hostages, identified as Israeli nationals Inbar Haiman and Muhammad el-Atrash, and sent their bodies in two caskets on Wednesday night.
The two caskets were collected by the Red Cross from Hamas in Gaza City, then transferred to the IDF troops on an outlying frontier area who then brought them out of the Gaza Strip, and gave them to their families, as reported by Hebrew media.
Hamas – who has not identified any of the remains - had released four additional bodies on Wednesday, though one of them turned out to be a Palestinian. As such, out of the total 28 bodies, only nine have been released by the terror group so far, leaving 19 yet unaccounted for.
