Hamas to return bodies of Israeli hostages Shiri Bibas and her sons

Hamas announced it will return the bodies of Shiri Bibas and her sons, Ariel and Kfir, as part of a deal with Israel. This follows an agreement for the release of six living hostages from Gaza. The Bibas family has not received official confirmation of the deaths despite Hamas's announcement. The boys were abducted during the October 7, 2023 attack, and their plight has resonated with many Israelis. This handover marks the first return of bodies to Israel by Hamas since the conflict began. The names of the six living hostages set for release on Saturday have also been published.
