Hamas Accused Of ‘Serious Violation’ After Israel Receives ‘Anonymous Body’ Instead of Shiri Bibas

Israel said on Feb. 21 that one of the bodies returned from Gaza is not that of Shiri Bibas, as claimed by Hamas. The Palestinian group said on Feb 20 handed over four hostage bodies under the fragile ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.Hamas said the remains included those of Bibas and her two young sons, whose father was released by the group this month. At Hamas’s handover ceremony, one of the four coffins handed over was marked as being that of Shiri Bibas, featuring her photograph and name.Israeli forensic experts said that slain hostages Oded Lifshitz and brothers Ariel and Kfir Bibas were identified. However, the third body at the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute was not that of their mother, Shiri Bibas, says the Israel Defence Forces. Specialists at Abu Kabir were not able to identify the body, which the IDF said did not match any male or female hostage. Calling it a “serious violation” of the truce deal, the IDF demanded the return of her body along with the other remaining hostages.Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister claimed that Hamas “put the body of a Gazan woman in a coffin” instead of Shiri Bibas. He also vowed to will “act with determination to bring Shiri home along with all our hostages – both living and dead.” n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION3:13 “HAMAS WILL PAY FOR UNSPEAKABLE CYNICISM”4:55 US THREATENS HAMAS OF “TOTAL ANNIHILATION”5:50 PHASE TWO OF ISRAEL-HAMAS DEAL “MORE DIFFICULT”
