Hamas announces return of bodies of Shiri Bibas and her children after hostage crisis

Hamas announced it will return the bodies of Shiri Bibas and her two children, Ariel and Kfir, who were kidnapped during a Hamas-led attack in 2023. This news has dashed hopes for their safe return. Israeli officials have not confirmed the deaths but expressed grave concern for the family. The Bibas family is still seeking definitive information about their fate. Yarden Bibas, Shiri's husband, was released recently as part of a hostage exchange deal. The agreement involves the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners.
