Hamas to return bodies of Israeli children taken as hostages in Gaza

Hamas announced it will return the bodies of four Israeli hostages, including Kfir and Ariel Bibas, on February 20. This follows earlier claims that the children were killed in an Israeli airstrike, which Israel did not confirm. The Bibas family has not received official confirmation of the children's deaths and continues to hold onto hope. They expressed turmoil over the announcement but await definitive information. Discussions on a second phase of the Gaza hostage-ceasefire deal are set to begin this week, with American involvement. So far, 19 hostages have been released, with 14 more expected soon.
