The Israeli military said Tuesday that the bodies of four hostages returned by Hamas have been identified, including that of a Nepalese student.
In a statement, the military named two of the victims as Guy Iluz, a 26-year-old Israeli, and Bipin Joshi, a 22-year-old student from Nepal.
The names of the other two hostages have not yet been released at the request of their families, the statement added.
Israel has also given a deadline to Hamas up to Tuesday night for handing over of remaining 24 Israeli bodies.
Israeli defence minister Katz has been quoted in a media report to warn that in case of no progress over the matter his regime will use its all powers.
