Israeli authorities are preparing to receive a body believed to be that of hostage Shiri Bibas. The coffin is currently with the Red Cross and is en route to Israel, according to a spokesperson for the Prime Minister’s Office. Hamas reported that it handed over Bibas' body to the Red Cross. However, during the identification process of bodies returned on Thursday, it was found that one body was not Bibas and did not match any other Israeli hostage. The Israeli Ministry of Health is working to identify the body quickly and sensitively. It has urged the public to avoid spreading rumors and to respect the family's privacy during this time.
