Hamas returns bodies of four Israeli hostages including woman and two children

Hamas has returned the bodies of four Israeli hostages, including Shiri Bibas and her two young children, Ariel and Kfir. Kfir was the youngest taken during the October 7, 2023, attack. Hamas claims they were killed in an Israeli airstrike. The handover took place in Khan Younis, with large crowds present. Israeli media did not cover the event live, contrasting with previous releases of living hostages. The Bibas family is awaiting identification procedures for their loved ones. Hamas has released 24 living hostages recently under a ceasefire. They plan to release six more living hostages soon, along with additional bodies next week. This marks the end of the first phase of the ceasefire.
