Hamas returned the wrong body of Shiri Bibas to Israel two days before returning her actual remains. The Bibas family confirmed her identity through forensic tests. The remains of Bibas’ two children and another hostage were mistakenly identified and returned by Hamas in a ceremony as part of a ceasefire agreement with Israel. The incident caused outrage among Israeli officials. Hamas claimed the mix-up occurred due to an Israeli airstrike. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas of a cynical act for not returning Bibas’ body promptly. The IDF confirmed that Bibas and her two children were brutally murdered in captivity. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum expressed support for the Bibas family in their time of grief. The IDF is reviewing reports of a new body being released and stated that further testing will be done if necessary. Hamas denies the IDF’s claims and maintains that Shiri Bibas and her children were killed by Israeli forces. The return of Bibas’ remains marked the end of 505 days of uncertainty and pain for the family. The IDF and the Bibas family are in communication regarding the situation.
