Hamas Claims Shiri Bibas' Remains Mixed After Israeli Airstrike

The bodies of Israeli hostages Oded Lifshitz, Kfir Bibas, and Ariel Bibas were returned to Israel following a complex hostage situation involving Hamas, but the body of Shiri Bibas was not among them. Hamas claims that her remains were mistakenly mixed with others due to an Israeli airstrike, and they have initiated an investigation into the matter. Israeli officials, however, have confirmed that the body handed over instead of Shiri Bibas is unidentified and does not match any known hostage. Prime Minister Netanyahu accused Hamas of lying about the circumstances of the Bibas family's deaths, asserting that the two boys were murdered while in captivity. The incident has heightened tensions, with Israeli authorities demanding the return of all hostages, while the International Committee of the Red Cross expressed concerns over Hamas's handling of the hostage release operations. In contrast, Lifshitz was recognized for his long-standing advocacy for Palestinian rights, highlighting the complicated dynamics of the ongoing conflict.
