nytimes.com

Hamas has claimed it returned the body of Shiri Bibas to the Red Cross, following a previous mix-up where the remains delivered were not hers. This comes less than 24 hours after Israel confirmed the error. The body was handed over as part of ongoing negotiations related to a cease-fire. Previously, Hamas had delivered the remains of four hostages, including Bibas and her two children, but one body was misidentified. Israeli officials are reviewing the latest handoff. The cease-fire, which has lasted a month, is set to expire soon, and discussions for its extension are ongoing.
