Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized Hamas after confirming that the body they returned was not Shiri Bibas. Instead, they returned the body of a Gazan woman, while only Shiri's children were repatriated. Netanyahu described Hamas's actions as "unspeakable cynicism" and highlighted the cruelty of their failure to return Shiri alongside her deceased children. He expressed sorrow over the deaths of Shiri's children and another elderly hostage. The incident has caused outrage among Israeli advocacy groups, who expressed horror at the situation. This development comes amid a ceasefire that has seen the release of hostages and prisoners since January 19.
