Hamas returns bodies of four Israeli hostages

thesun.co.uk

Hamas has returned the bodies of four Israeli hostages, including Ohad Yahalomi, in a private ceremony. This follows a previous mix-up involving the body of Shiri Bibas, which raised concerns about identification procedures. The bodies were handed over under a ceasefire agreement, with Israeli authorities confirming they will be identified before any Palestinian prisoners are released. The process may take time due to the condition of the remains. Israel is mourning the Bibas family, whose deaths were confirmed last week. Thousands attended their funeral, reflecting the ongoing grief and tension surrounding the hostage crisis and the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
