Hamas official: Body of Shiri Bibas likely ‘mistakenly mixed’ with others in Gaza rubble

Gaza City: A Hamas official said on Friday that it was likely the body of captive Shiri Bibas had been “mistakenly mixed” with others who were killed and buried under the rubble in Gaza.

“It is likely that Mrs Bibas’ body was mistakenly mixed with others found under the rubble,” the official said on condition of anonymity, adding that the group was “investigating” the issue. This came after Israel stated that one of the bodies handed over by Hamas on Thursday was not that of Bibas, as the militants had claimed.
