Israel confirms return of remains of Bibas family among four dead hostages

Israel will receive the remains of four hostages, including the Bibas family, on Thursday. This follows a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. The Bibas family, taken on October 7, 2023, includes a mother and her two young children. The return of the bodies comes after Hamas announced they would also release six living Israeli hostages on Saturday. The deal involves the gradual release of 33 hostages, with eight believed to be dead. The Bibas family has become a symbol of the hostage crisis in Israel. The family had been missing for much of the conflict, and their fate was uncertain until now.
