After error, Hamas says he delivered a mother of a mother of family in captivity

Four bodies were delivered, and the identities of the children of the Bibas family and the other hostage, Oded Lifshitz, were confirmed.

But Israeli experts stated that the fourth body was from an unidentified woman and was not from Shiri Bibas, who was kidnapped with her children and her husband, Yarden, during the Hamas attack against Israel on October 7, 2023.

Base Naim, a member of Hamas’s political arm, said “unfortunate errors? They can occur, especially after Israeli bombings mixed the bodies of Israeli hostages with Palestinians, thousands of which are still buried under the rubble.

“We confirm that it is neither of our values ​​nor of our interest to maintain any bodies and not comply with the agreements and covenants we have signed,” he said.

On Thursday, the failure to deliver the correct body and the public event organized for the delivery of the four coffins caused a dismay in Israel, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened to retaliate.

“We will act with determination to bring Shiri back home alongside all our hostages – alive or dead – and ensure that Hamas pay all the price for his cruel and poor violation of the deal,” he said on a video.
