Several bodies, possibly hostages, have been found in Gaza, the IDF announced on Saturday night.

The Israeli army has said that the identities of the bodies are unlikely to be known until they are returned to Israel, which will most probably be on Sunday.

In a statement, the IDF said: “At this stage, the forces are still operating in the area and carrying out a process to extract and identify the bodies, which will last several hours.” 

The exact location of where the bodies were found has not been revealed.
