Netanyahu confirms Hamas released body of Gaza woman, not expected hostage

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that a body released by Hamas was that of a woman from Gaza, not Shiri Bibas, whose remains were expected. This has raised tensions regarding the ceasefire agreement, which has paused fighting for over 15 months. In response to recent bus explosions near Tel Aviv, Israel's defense minister ordered an increase in military operations in the West Bank. He labeled the explosions a "terror attack" and emphasized the need to combat terrorism. Hamas announced it would review Israel's claims about the body handover. The group insisted it complied with the ceasefire terms and suggested a mix-up may have occurred due to Israeli bombardments.
