Israel has confirmed the identities of two of the deceased individuals returned by Hamas on Thursday as Ariel and Kfir Bibas. However, DNA tests have revealed that the body believed to be that of their mother, Shiri, does not match her DNA and does not correspond to any other missing Israeli hostage.
The Israeli military has stated that forensic evidence and intelligence indicate that the boys were murdered, condemning the actions of the Hamas terrorist organization for this violation. According to the agreement, Hamas was supposed to return four deceased hostages, including Shiri, and the Israeli military is demanding the return of Shiri and all other hostages.
