Israel’s Defense Forces (IDF) are currently investigating claims that Hamas has transferred the body of Shiri Bibas, a hostage who was captured along with her children during the October 7 attacks, to the Red Cross. Lt Col Nadav Shoshani, an IDF international spokesperson, confirmed the investigation is underway, following earlier assertions that a body purported to be Bibas was misidentified during forensic testing.
