Three of the four bodies of Israeli hostages in Gaza returned by Hamas late Tuesday have been identified, following forensic confirmation of their identities, AFP reports.

The families of former Gaza hostages Ouriel Baruch, Eitan Levy and Tamir Nimrodi posted statements on social media after Israel’s forensic research laboratory confirmed the identities.

The identity of a fourth body returned by Hamas has yet to be confirmed.
