TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — The remains of captives seized by Hamas during the Gaza Strip attack are set to be returned on Thursday, according to an Israeli official. The handover, part of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, will include the bodies of a mother and her two young children, as well as a retired journalist in his 80s.
The captives, Ariel and Kfir Bibas, aged 4 years and 9 months respectively, along with their mother Shiri, were taken captive on Oct. 7, 2023. The family has become a symbol of the plight of those taken captive, with their fate remaining uncertain for much of the war.
