Hamas to return bodies of Bibas brothers to Israel on Thursday

Hamas will return the bodies of four Israeli hostages, including the Bibas brothers, to Israel on Thursday. This follows a ceasefire agreement made in January amid ongoing conflict, which has resulted in significant casualties in Gaza. The Bibas family was abducted on October 7, 2023, during a Hamas attack. The boys, Kfir and Ariel, became symbols of the conflict. Their mother, Shiri, and the boys' fate had been uncertain until now. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office confirmed the return of the bodies. Additionally, six living hostages are expected to be released on Saturday. The Hostages Missing Families Forum is awaiting official confirmation of the developments.
