Israel claims that one body that Hamas returned was not from a female prisoner in Gaza | Israel-Palestine News of Conflict
The Israeli army announced that the remains of two prisoners of the child were identified, but another body Hamas published was not the mother of a boy or any other prisoner.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Hamas of committing a “cruel and evil” violation of the Gaza fire interruption agreement because he claimed that one of the bodies that returned on Thursday was not a female trapped Shiri Bibas.
Previously, the Israeli army announced that the remains of two prisoners of the child were identified, but the other body Hamas published was not the mother of a boy or any other prisoner.
Hamas deliver Bodies of four people who were trapped during the attack in October 2023 to the southern Israel, under Participation Agreement This stopped more than 15 months of war.
The remains of Ariel and Kfir Bibas were identified by the National Institute of Forensic Medicine and Israeli Police afterwards, but the army said on Friday that the third body was not that of their mother Shiri Bibas or any other prisoner.
The fourth body was from Odeed Lifshitz, who was 83 when he was captured.
“We demand that Hamas return Shiri home along with all our hostages,” the army said.
Later on Friday, Netanyahu posted a threat to Hamas, saying, “We will act with the determination to bring Shiri home together with all our hostages – and live and dead – and ensure that Hamas pays the full price for this cruel and evil violation of the agreement. “
Hamas has not yet been a comment on Israeli claims. The Palestinian group claimed that the deceased prisoners were handed over Thursday killed in Israeli air attack during the war, but Israel says Hamas killed them in November 2023.
Nour Odeh Al Jazeera, reporting from Amman, Jordan, said the Bibas family had not captured Hamas, but a smaller, lesser -known group.
“It’s unclear how this could have happened and we wait to see what kind of reaction we get from Hamas in the morning,” Odah said.
It also remains unclear whether the next replacement, scheduled for Saturday, will happen after the allegation.
There was a “huge public anger in Israel” because of the controversy of the body, said Mohamad Bazzi, an associate professor at New York University.
Al Jazeera said that the Israeli right wing seized for a moment to press the return to the war.
But Netanyahu would be a “pretty something” to restart the fight and threaten further editions of the prisoner by leaving the truce now, Bazzi said.
