STORYLINE:
The body of a dead hostage arrived back in Israel on Monday evening after the Israeli military said Hamas had handed over the remains of a hostage to the Red Cross in Gaza.

Since a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Hamas began on October 10, the remains of 16 hostages have been returned to Israel.

Another 12 bodies still need to be recovered in Gaza and handed over.

Hamas has expanded its search for bodies of hostages in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian group said Sunday, a day after Egypt deployed a team of experts and heavy equipment to help retrieve them.

Under the ceasefire Hamas is expected to return the remains of all Israeli hostages as soon as possible.

Israel has agreed to return 15 bodies of Palestinians for each one.
