Hamas returns bodies of Israeli children in painful moment for Israel

Hamas returned the bodies of Israeli children Kfir and Ariel Bibas, along with their mother Shiri, marking a painful moment for Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu described it as a "difficult day" and vowed to prevent future tragedies. The handover occurred as part of a ceasefire agreement mediated by Qatar and Egypt. Videos showed Red Cross vehicles transporting the coffins, while Hamas militants staged a propaganda display blaming Israel for the deaths. Public sentiment in Israel largely supports ongoing negotiations for the release of remaining hostages. A second phase of the ceasefire is expected to begin soon, potentially involving more hostages and a military withdrawal from Gaza.
