The Israel Defense Forces told the Bibas family that while the bodies of young hostages Ariel and Kfir were positively identified Thursday, the third body was not that of the children's mother Shiri.
The mother's body was supposed to be released along with the remains of her two kids as part of the Israel-Hamas cease-fire deal.
The IDF slammed Hamas in a statement Thursday and demanded Shiri's body be returned to the Jewish state.
''This is a very serious violation by the Hamas terrorist organization, which is required by the agreement to return four dead hostages,'' the IDF reportedly said. ''We demand that Hamas return Shiri home along with all of our hostages.''
Hamas put propaganda material in hostages’ coffins, Israel fumes to mediators — report
[IsraelTimes] In addition to the gleeful ceremony ridden with propaganda in which Hamas this morning paraded the caskets of four Israeli civilian hostages, including two young kids, the terror group inserted additional propaganda material into the coffins it handed back to Israel, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
After Israeli officials found the material inside, Jerusalem reportedly contacted the mediators of the current ceasefire and hostage deal — Egypt, Qatar and the United States — and demanded stern action against what it says was a desecration of the sanctity of the dead.
