Israel has identified two bodies returned by Hamas as Ariel and Kfir Bibas. However, the body expected to be their mother, Shiri, does not match her DNA or any other Israeli hostage. The Israeli military stated that forensic evidence indicates the boys were murdered, calling it a severe violation by Hamas. They demand the return of Shiri and all hostages. Earlier, Hamas returned four bodies, including that of 83-year-old Oded Lifshitz. The Bibas family has become a prominent symbol of the October 7 terror attacks.
