Israel warns of consequences for Hamas after ceasefire tensions rise over hostage remains

Israel has accused Hamas of violating a ceasefire agreement by handing over the remains of an unknown woman instead of an Israeli hostage, Shiri Bibas. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Hamas would face consequences for this action. Hamas acknowledged a possible mix-up but denied any intention to withhold bodies. They blamed Israeli bombings for the deaths of Bibas and her children, who were taken during the October 7 attacks. Tensions escalated with explosions in Tel Aviv, prompting Israel to increase military operations. The fragile ceasefire, brokered by the U.S., Egypt, and Qatar, is at risk as both sides accuse each other of violations.
