Hamas has returned the body of Israeli hostage Shiri Bibas after initially handing over the remains of the wrong person. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned this act, calling it "unspeakably cynical." The Bibas family confirmed the identification of Shiri's body, stating it was returned home. Forensic tests had previously revealed that the body initially claimed to be hers was that of a Palestinian woman. Following the correct return, Israel's Institute of Forensic Medicine confirmed the identification. Meanwhile, Hamas is set to release six more hostages at the Rafah border to the Red Cross.
