Israel's military has identified the remains of two boys, Ariel and Kfir Bibas, returned by Hamas. They were part of a hostage-prisoner swap. Israel claims the boys were killed by Palestinian militants, not in an Israeli airstrike as Hamas stated. The military also stated that one of the four bodies returned is not Shiri Bibas, contradicting Hamas's claims. They demand the return of Shiri Bibas and all other abductees. This handover marks the first exchange of Israeli bodies during the ongoing ceasefire in Gaza.
