The Palestinian armed group Hamas has said it was investigating Israel’s claim that one of the bodies it handed over to Israel on Thursday as part of the ongoing Gaza ceasefire deal was not that of female captive Shiri Bibas.
In a statement released on Friday, Hamas said there might have been “the possibility of an error or overlap in the bodies” as it promised to “clearly” announce the findings of its probe. The group added the mix-up may have been the result of Israeli forces bombing “the place where the family was with other Palestinians”.
