The Israeli military announced that one of the bodies claimed by Hamas to be Shiri Bibas was not hers, calling it a severe violation. Hamas had stated they returned the bodies of Shiri and her two sons, Ariel and Kfir, but the IDF confirmed only Ariel and Kfir were identified. Concerns for the Bibas family grew after their abduction on October 7, 2023. US Envoy Adam Boehler criticized Hamas for not returning Shiri's body, warning of consequences. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered military action following explosions in Bat Yam, with uncertainty surrounding future hostage exchanges and the ceasefire.
