The Israeli government has confirmed that two of the bodies returned by Hamas belong to Ariel and Kfir Bibas, two young Israeli hostages who were kidnapped during the October 7 attacks. However, forensic tests have revealed that a third body handed over by Hamas is not that of their mother, Shiri Bibas, as previously assumed.This revelation has sparked outrage in Israel, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowing to continue military operations in Gaza until all hostages are accounted for. Israel has accused Hamas of withholding information about the remaining captives, further complicating ceasefire negotiations.The handover of the bodies was mediated by Qatar and Egypt as part of ongoing diplomatic efforts to secure the release of hostages and de-escalate the conflict. However, Israeli officials claim that Hamas continues to exploit hostage negotiations for strategic leverage.International mediators are urging both sides to reach a truce, but with tensions running high, the possibility of further military escalation remains. The situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, with humanitarian agencies warning of worsening conditions for civilians caught in the crossfire.
