Israel's PM says Thursday to be 'heartbreaking day' as Hamas to hand over hostage bodies

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Thursday would be a "heartbreaking day" for Israel as it receives the bodies of four hostages set to be handed over by Hamas as part of the ongoing Gaza truce deal.

"Tomorrow will be a very difficult day for the State of Israel -- a heartbreaking day, a day of grief. We are bringing home four of our beloved hostages -- fallen heroes," Netanyahu said in a statement on Wednesday.
