Hamas released another set of human remains on Friday, following a controversial incident involving the body of Shiri Bibas. Initial reports claimed the remains belonged to Bibas, but Israeli officials confirmed they did not match her or any other hostage. Hamas described the mix-up as a mistake, stating Bibas' remains may have been confused with others during an airstrike. The International Red Cross has since transferred a new set of remains to Israeli officials for forensic testing. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized Hamas for the incident, calling it a cynical act. The remains of Bibas' two children were confirmed, but the IDF stated they were murdered in captivity.
