Hamas's armed wing said it would hand over the remains of another hostage on Tuesday as required under the US-brokered ceasefire deal with Israel in Gaza.
The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades "will hand over the body of one of the occupation's prisoners, which was found in the Shujaiya neighbourhood east of Gaza City at 8:00 pm Gaza time (1800 GMT)," the group said on its Telegram channel.
Of the 28 deceased hostages Hamas agreed to hand over to Israel under the deal, it has so far returned 20 -- including 18 Israelis, one Thai national and one Nepali.
Earlier on Tuesday, Hamas's armed wing announced it had found a hostage's body in Shujaiya "during ongoing search and excavation operations inside the yellow line," referring to the de facto boundary marking Israeli military positions inside Gaza.
In a separate statement, Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem said the militant group was working on "completing the process of handing over the bodies of the Israeli captives despite the difficulties and obstacles".
"We are working to complete the entire exchange process as soon as possible," he added.
Hamas had been holding 48 hostages in Gaza when the truce came into effect on October 10, including 20 who were alive, all of whom the militants have released.
Israel has accused Hamas of dragging its feet in returning the bodies of deceased hostages, while the Palestinian group says the process is slow because many are buried beneath Gaza's rubble.
The group has repeatedly called on mediators and the Red Cross to provide it with the necessary equipment and personnel to recover the bodies.
