Israel accused Hamas of breach of arrangements for the transfer of hostage bodies. According to Times of Israel, citing the Army of Defense of Israel (Tsakhal), the body passed on the eve of the militants does not belong to the mother of two children of Bibas, or either other hostages.
According to official data, the military has already informed the Bibas family that the bodies of Ariel and Cfir Bibas have been identified. However, the results of the examination at the Abu Cabiral Foreign Expert Institute showed that the third transferred body did not belong to their mother and could not be identified among the hostage list.
According to the findings of forensic experts and intelligence, the Israeli authorities believe that Ariel (4 years) and the KFIR (10 months) were brutally killed by militants in November 2023.
The tacham states that Hamas's actions are a gross violation of the agreement, since the organization was obliged to return four dead hostages. "We demand that Hamas will return the Shira to home with all our hostages," the Israeli army said.
Earlier it became known about the next exchanging of hostages. Hamas fighters released three more Israelis, after which Israel pledged to release 369 Palestinian prisoners. This is the sixth similar exchange operation.
