The Israeli military claimed on Friday that one of the bodies it received yesterday did not belong to Shiri Bibas, but rather had an unknown identity. 

According to the occupation's military, two bodies were identified as Kfir and Ariel Bibas, but the third body, supposedly their mother, was not a match and remained unidentified. 

Following the claim, the Israeli military spokesperson demanded that the Palestinian Resistance release all captives, threatening that "Israel" would respond to the alleged violation.

On Thursday, Palestinian Resistance factions handed over the bodies of four captives in Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, to the International Red Cross, marking the first part of today's exchange deal.

The Red Cross delegate signed for the bodies of the Israeli captives upon their arrival at the delivery platform in Bani Suheila.

On Wednesday, al-Qassam spokesperson Abu Obeida stated that the bodies of the Bibas family and the remains of captive Oded Lifshitz would be handed over, emphasizing that they were all alive before Israeli military aircraft deliberately bombed their locations in the Gaza Strip.
