Israel accuses Hamas of violating ceasefire by returning unidentified body instead of hostage Shiri Babas

Hamas returned an unidentified body instead of Israeli hostage Shiri Babas during a handover of remains, violating a ceasefire agreement. The Israeli military confirmed the return of two deceased children, Kfir and Ariel Bibas, but the third body did not match Shiri's identity. The military condemned Hamas's actions as a serious violation and demanded the return of Shiri along with all hostages. The handover occurred amid tensions, including a suspected terror attack in Israel and ongoing disputes over ceasefire terms. The situation threatens the fragile ceasefire established in January. Dramatic negotiations involving Qatar, Egypt, and the U.S. have been ongoing to secure additional hostage releases and maintain the ceasefire.
