Hamas has returned a body to Israel, claiming it to be Shiri Bibas, but the IDF states it is an "anonymous body without identification." This is seen as a serious violation of the peace agreement, which required the return of identified hostages. Shiri Bibas is the mother of two young boys, Kfir and Ariel, who were released recently. The IDF confirmed that the body received does not match any known abductees. The handover involved coffins presented by Hamas, which were reportedly locked and required security checks by the IDF. The event drew significant attention, with many onlookers in Gaza witnessing the transfer.
