Hamas released the bodies of four Israeli hostages, Kfir and Ariel Bibas and 84-year-old Oded Lifshitz, on Thursday. The caskets were displayed on a stage with propaganda slogans and fake missiles claiming they were killed by USA bombs. The bodies were the first to be returned under the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas. The IDF demanded the return of Shiri Bibas, who was not among the bodies handed over. The remaining hostages are set to be released on Saturday. The Bibas family was devastated by the news but awaits definitive confirmation. The hostages were abducted in 2023, and Cohen, Shem Tov, Wenkert, Shoham, Al-Sayed, and Mengistu are among those to be released. The kidnapping occurred during an attack at the Nova music festival, where 1,200 people were killed. The second stage of the ceasefire deal is set to commence negotiations to secure the release of the remaining hostages and oversee post-war Gaza. Talks are expected soon. Israel’s military campaign in Gaza has resulted in many fatalities, with over 48,000 Palestinians killed and most of the population displaced. Netanyahu vowed to return the remaining hostages, destroy the murderers, and eliminate Hamas.
