The set of remains handed over to Israel on Tuesday were those of Itay Chen, the final remaining American Israeli hostage, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.

A recently freed Israeli hostage has alleged he was subjected to “horrific” and humiliating sexual assault while held captive in Gaza. Rom Braslavski said in an interview with Channel 13’s “Hazinor” that he was stripped naked and tied up while he was held by Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Israel received the remains of another hostage from Gaza on Wednesday, the prime minister's office said, after Hamas' armed wing transferred a body found near Gaza City to the Red Cross.
