The family of Shiri Bibas, an Israeli hostage, refuses to mourn her sons Ariel and Kfir until her body is returned. Israel accused Hamas of violating the ceasefire after forensic testing revealed an unidentified body handed over Thursday was not Shiri. Hamas claims her remains were mixed with others due to Israeli airstrikes. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu vowed "revenge," but Shiri’s sister-in-law Ofri Bibas Levy urged focus on recovering hostages. Hamas previously said Shiri and her sons were killed in an Israeli strike, but Israel insists the boys were executed in captivity.
