Hamas returns bodies of four Israeli captives including Bibas family
ai generated text
Hamas has returned the bodies of four Israeli hostages, including a 32-year-old woman and her two children, ages four and nine months, as well as an 85-year-old man, to Israel. The transfer took place at a cemetery in Khan Younis, where the bodies were placed in four black coffins adorned with propaganda, including a backdrop depicting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with fangs. The handover was described as "abhorrent and cruel" by the United Nations Human Rights Chief Volker Türk. The bodies will now undergo formal identification, which is expected to take up to 48 hours.
We urge that all returns are conducted in privacy, and with respect and care.
On behalf of the state of Israel, I bow my head and ask for forgiveness. Forgiveness for not protecting you on that terrible day. Forgiveness for not bringing you home safely.
The heart of the entire nation mourns today. Hamas kidnapped, Hamas murdered, Hamas will be destroyed. We will take revenge on our enemies and secure our future.
After the identification process, an official announcement will be made to the families.
The occupation's condition of removing Hamas from the Strip is a ridiculous psychological war, and the exit of the resistance or disarmament from Gaza is unacceptable.
We must be clear: any degrading treatment during release operations is unacceptable.
