Hamas returns bodies of four Israeli hostages including Shiri Bibas and her sons

Hamas has returned the bodies of four Israeli hostages, including Shiri Bibas and her two young sons, after more than 500 days since the group's attack on October 7, 2023. The transfer occurred near Khan Younis, with a crowd present as Hamas delivered the coffins to the Red Cross. The identities of the deceased will be confirmed by Israeli authorities within 48 hours. This marks the first transfer of slain hostages since a ceasefire began last month. A further transfer of six living hostages is planned for Saturday.
