U.S. condemns Hamas for misidentifying body in hostage exchange as ceasefire tensions rise

The U.S. condemned Hamas after a body returned in a hostage exchange was misidentified, raising tensions in a fragile ceasefire. U.S. envoy Adam Boehler called the incident "horrific," while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed retribution. Hamas had promised to return the bodies of Shiri Bibas and her two sons, but one body was identified as a Palestinian woman. Hamas attributed the error to chaos from Israeli airstrikes and stated it would review the incident. Despite the dispute, Hamas plans to release six Israeli hostages on Saturday in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. The group also intends to return four more bodies next week, but uncertainty remains about extending the ceasefire.
