HAMAS has returned the bodies of four slain Israeli hostages in a private handover ceremony tonight, days after the terror group admitted it had "mixed up" the body of Shiri Bibas.
As Israel grapples with the latest hostage handover, thousands of mourners lined the streets for the funeral of Shiri Bibas and her two children, Ariel and Kfir, whose deaths were only confirmed last week.
Hamas had claimed Israel would simultaneously release over 400 Palestinian prisoners, but Israeli authorities insisted they would wait until the hostages' remains arrived and were properly identified.
Israelis are in mourning as the Bibas family — Shiri and her two young sons, Ariel and Kfir —were buried today after Hamas admitted the group had 'mistakenly' destroyed their remains.
The latest release follows Israel’s decision to halt a previous prisoner swap after Hamas staged what Israeli officials called "humiliating" public celebrations, shamelessly parading freed captives in Gaza.
