Netanyahu says Hamas released body of ‘Gazan woman’ instead of captive

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Hamas has handed over the deceased body of a "Gazan woman" instead of Shiri Bibas, an Israeli captive.

He described the alleged move as a breach of the truce agreement between Israel and Hamas.

On Thursday, Hamas released the bodies of four captives, including a mother and her two children. Israel says the body of an unidentified body received does not belong to Shiri Bibas.

“Not only did they abduct the father, Yarden Bibas, the young mother, Shiri, and their two small children, but in an indescribably cynical act, they did not return Shiri alongside her little angels. Instead, they placed the body of a Gazan woman in the coffin,” says Netanyahu.
