Israel has revealed that the remains returned in Gaza yesterday do not belong to any of the captives held in the territory, dealing a significant blow to Hamas's claims.
According to Israeli authorities, initial findings suggest that the bodies were likely part of an unknown mass grave, possibly created by ISIS militants who fled Iraq several years ago. As investigations continue, officials said they could find no link between the remains and any of the 21 Israelis being held captive in Gaza since 2014.
This revelation comes at a time when tensions remain high between Israel and Hamas.
