Israeli military confirms body of Shiri Bibas not among four returned from Gaza
ai generated text
Israeli military sources confirmed that one of the four bodies returned by Hamas did not belong to Shiri Bibas. An identification process also revealed that two of the bodies belonged to Bibas's children, Ariel and Kfir. The Israeli military described this development as a 'grave violation' of the ceasefire agreement.
The return of the remains of the deceased is a basic humanitarian goal.
According to the assessment of professional officials, based on the intelligence available to us and forensic findings from the identification process, Ariel and Kfir Bibas were brutally murdered by terrorists in captivity in November 2023.
During the identification process, it was determined that the additional body received is not that of Shiri Bibas, and no match was found for any other hostage. This is an anonymous, unidentified body.
Hamas treats them as if they were prey and sometimes hands them over to other terrorist organizations present in the Gaza Strip.
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.
Our hearts - the hearts of an entire nation - lie in tatters.
In an unimaginably cynical manner, they did not return Shiri to her small children, the little angels, and instead placed the body of a Gazan woman in a coffin.
We will work with determination to bring Shiri home together with all our hostages — both living and dead — and ensure that Hamas pays the full price for this cruel and malicious violation of the agreement.
We are all enraged at the monsters of Hamas.
Who kidnaps a little boy and a baby and murders them? Monsters. That's who.
I vow that I will not rest until the savages who executed our hostages are brought to justice.
We confirm that it is not in our values or our interest to keep any bodies or not to abide by the covenants and agreements that we sign.
If I were them, I'd release everybody or they are going to face total annihilation.
We once again call for all releases to be conducted in a private and dignified manner, including when they tragically involve the deceased.
