Hamas returned the bodies of Israeli hostages, including Shiri Bibas and her two young sons, on Thursday. Their coffins displayed a "date of arrest" sign, marking their abduction on October 7, 2023. The return was marked by a disturbing ceremony featuring propaganda and a mural of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Bibas children's coffins were reportedly mislabeled. Hamas plans to release six living hostages on Saturday, instead of three as previously agreed. This is part of a cease-fire deal that aims to free a total of 33 hostages by March 2.
