Hamas has been accused of violating a ceasefire agreement after returning an unidentified body instead of the hostage Shiri Bibas. Israel confirmed that while two bodies were those of her sons, Ariel and Kfir, the third body does not belong to Shiri. Israeli officials demand the return of Shiri Bibas, who was taken captive with her children in October 2023. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel would hold Hamas accountable for this breach of the agreement. The Bibas family's situation has drawn significant public attention, with protests calling for the release of hostages. Yarden Bibas, Shiri's husband, was released earlier this month and has been seeking information about his family's fate.
