Following Israel's assessment that Hamas will not locate all the casualties, a task force will be established to find and return them, ynet has learned. The task force will include Israel, the United States, Egypt and Qatar, and will work with forces on the ground in the Gaza Strip to exhaust all information and capabilities needed to complete their location. This was agreed upon during the negotiations, and the exact definition of the force was worked on during talks in Sharm el-Sheikh. If necessary, the task force will be assisted by the Red Cross. Hostage affairs coordinator Gal Hirsch contacted the Red Cross even before the delegation left for Sharm, requesting their assistance in the process. Hirsch told ynet: "We are not stopping our activities and will spare no effort until the mission to return everyone is completed."
