Hamas finally hands over actual body of Israeli hostage Shiri Bibas

Hamas said it has now handed over the actual body of Israeli captive Shiri Bibas to the Red Cross.

This follows Israel’s claim that her body was not among those released this week.

Al Jazeera TV reports that the Red Cross has confirmed it received a coffin from Hamas containing the body of Shiri Bibas.

According to the report, the Israeli army will receive the coffin from the Red Cross once coordination is finalised, adding that the situation on the ground remains highly complex.

Media Talk Africa reports that Hamas stated on Friday it was investigating a possible error in identifying human remains handed to Israel under a ceasefire deal.

The development came after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatened retaliation over the failure to release the body of Shiri Bibas.

Hamas had been due to hand over the bodies of Shiri Bibas and her two sons, Kfir and Ariel, on Thursday, along with the remains of a fourth hostage.
