Hamas has returned the correct remains of Israeli hostage Shiri Bibas to her family after mistakenly delivering the wrong body earlier this week. The IDF confirmed the identification of Shiri's remains, which were collected by the Red Cross. This incident follows the return of her two children’s bodies on Thursday. Hamas admitted to the mix-up and stated they will investigate how it occurred. The initial body returned was an unidentified individual, not connected to any hostages. The situation has drawn international condemnation, with Israeli officials and foreign leaders criticizing Hamas for the error and the alleged killing of the Bibas children. Despite the turmoil, a prisoner exchange is still expected to proceed as planned.
