The Red Cross received on Sunday the body of a hostage in Gaza that Hamas claims is Hadar Goldin, an Israeli soldier who was killed on August 1, 2014.

According to the Associated Press, Hamas said it found his body in a tunnel in the enclave’s southernmost city of Rafah on Saturday. Goldin was killed on Aug. 1, 2014, two hours after a ceasefire took effect ending that year’s war between Israel and Hamas.

The body will be transferred to Israel and the national forensic institute for identification. 

There are four additional bodies of hostages remaining in Gaza.
