Hamas Returns Bodies of Shiri Bibas, her sons, and Oded Lifshitz
The bodies of four Israeli hostages—Shiri Bibas, her two young sons Ariel and Kfir, and Oded Lifshitz—have been returned to Israel by Hamas, bringing an agonizing chapter of uncertainty to a tragic end. The hostages were handed over to the Red Cross in Gaza before being transported to Israel for identification and burial • Read More
The Israeli military held a formal ceremony to honor the deceased, with IDF soldiers saluting the coffins. IDF Chief Rabbi Eyal Karim recited prayers over the remains before they were transferred to the National Institute for Forensic Medicine at Abu Kabir for identification, a process expected to take up to 48 hours.
The return of the hostages’ remains was overshadowed by Hamas’ propaganda efforts, which included a staged “ceremony” blaming Israel for their deaths. The IDF and security agencies have stated they will conduct an investigation into the cause of death, rejecting Hamas’ unverified claims.
The return of these bodies underscores the ongoing tragedy of the hostages taken on October 7, with many still held captive.
