Body released by Hamas is Israeli hostage Shiri Bibas, family says

Hamas's al-Qassam Brigades reportedly handed over a body claimed to be Shiri Bibas, confirmed by Israeli forensic authorities to belong to the Israeli mother kidnapped on October 7, 2023.
Israeli officials are conducting DNA testing to confirm the identity of the remains, with initial confusion over the identity of a different body.
This incident has led to accusations from Israel of a 'cruel and malicious violation' of the ceasefire agreement by Hamas, with retaliatory vows from Israeli leadership.
Six Israeli hostages are expected to be released as part of the ongoing ceasefire negotiations, while Israel will release over 600 Palestinian prisoners in exchange.
