Hamas Returns Incorrect Body in Hostage Deal, Threatening Gaza Ceasefire

Hamas delivered an unidentified body to Israel, claiming it was Shiri Bibas, but the Israeli Defense Force confirmed it did not match any hostage.
The bodies of Kfir and Ariel Bibas were identified, while Hamas claimed that the boys were killed in an Israeli bombardment, which the IDF refuted, stating that they were brutally murdered by terrorists in captivity in November 2023.
The IDF accused Hamas of violating a ceasefire agreement by delivering the wrong body and demanded the return of Shiri Bibas along with all hostages.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned Hamas's display of the coffins during the handover, calling it abhorrent and appalling, emphasizing that remains should be treated with dignity.
