Netanyahu confirms Hamas released body of Gazan woman, not Israeli hostage
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that a body released by Hamas was that of a Gazan woman, not Shiri Bibas, whose sons' remains were returned. This statement followed a handover of four bodies during a ceasefire. Netanyahu criticized the release of the wrong remains as a violation of the ceasefire agreement. He stated that Hamas would face consequences for this action. The Israeli Defense Forces confirmed the identities of the returned bodies, including Oded Lifshitz, who was abducted during the conflict that began on October 7, 2023.
