The mix up, as well as the public handover of the bodies, threatened to throw the fragile ceasefire out of the window after it caused outrage in Israel.
Hamas has claimed to have returned the body of Shiri Bibas to Israel, following an earlier mix-up where they handed over the remains of an unidentified woman instead. This incident caused outrage in Israel and threatened the ceasefire, prompting Prime Minister Netanyahu to threaten retaliation. Hamas has since stated that Shiri's body has been handed over, with an investigation underway and a request for the unidentified woman's remains to be returned. The situation is part of a broader ceasefire agreement involving the release of six hostages and other obligations.
