The body of a Palestinian woman mistakenly given to Israel by Hamas has been returned to Gaza. The International Committee of the Red Cross confirmed the transfer took place overnight. The woman's identity remains unknown. Hamas had previously handed over four bodies to the Red Cross, claiming they were Israeli hostages. A forensic examination revealed one was not Shiri Bibas, leading to outrage in Israel. Hamas later acknowledged a possible mistake. Shiri Bibas and her two sons, abducted on October 7, 2023, were buried in Israel on Wednesday. The Israeli army stated the children were murdered by their captors, while Hamas claims they died in an airstrike.
