Hamas investigates remains of Israeli hostage as ceasefire tensions rise

theglobeandmail.com

Hamas is investigating the possibility that human remains were mixed due to Israeli airstrikes after Israel claimed one body returned did not belong to hostage Shiri Bibas. Prime Minister Netanyahu stated Hamas will face consequences for this failure. Netanyahu accused Hamas of cynically substituting a Gaza woman's body for Bibas. He emphasized the need to bring Bibas home and ensure Hamas pays for the violation of the agreement. Tensions are rising over the ceasefire, with accusations of violations from both sides. Six living hostages are set to be released soon, while negotiations for a second phase of the ceasefire are expected to begin shortly.
