THE body handed to Israel thought to be that of Shiri Bibas is “an anonymous body without identification,” the IDF claims.

Shiri, is the mother of the youngest Israeli hostage Kfir, 2, and his brother Ariel, 5, who were among those released on Thursday.

The IDF said in a statement posted on X: “During the identification process, it was found that the additional body received was not that of Shiri Bibs, and no match was found for any other abductee.

“It is an anonymous body without identification.

“This is a very serious violation by the Hamas terrorist organization, which is required by the agreement to return four dead hostages.”

The IDF also said that the identification process by the National Centre for Forensic Medicine and the Israel Police identified Ariel and Kfir.
