Hamas, a Palestinian independent group, has been handed over to four Israeli hostages killed in Gaza. Two children, including their mother, were also the bodies of their mother. Israeli Defense Force (IDF) and intelligence agency Shin Bet has taken four bodies.
According to the BBC, Hamas claimed that they were killed in Israeli airstrikes.
Of the two children killed, Kefi's Bibus was only 2 years old, and his brother, Ariel Bibas, was four. Their deceased mother's name is Shiri Bibas. The other body was transferred to an old Israeli named Ode Lifshitz.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video message about taking the body of the hostage, “Today is a very difficult day for the state of Israel. Depressed, a day of mourning. '
On October 7, 2012, members of the Bibus family were held hostage by Hamas from the Kibutz Nir Oz area of Israel. At that time, Kafir was only 6 months old. Kafir and Ariel were killed with their mother while being held hostage, but their father Yarden was recently released from the hostage condition.
In November last year, Hamas claimed that the mother and two children were killed in an Israeli airstrike.
The hostage is being released under Qatar and Egypt last month under the signed ceiling agreement between Hamas and Israel. According to the agreement, many Palestinians detained in Israel's prisons are also being released against the hostages.
Meanwhile, five Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli forces on Wednesday night on the west bank. Qatar-based news media al-Jazeera reported this. The three men were killed when Israeli soldiers opened fire on a Pharah refugee camp near Tubas.
