The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have said they are looking into reports that Hamas has handed the body of hostage Shiri Bibas to the Red Cross on Friday evening.<\/p>\n
The reports are “currently under review”, IDF international spokesperson Lt Col Nadav Shoshani wrote in a post on X.<\/p>\n
It comes after Israel said forensic testing showed a body handed over on Thursday, said by Hamas to be Shiri Bibas, was not that of the Israeli mother but a different unidentified woman.<\/p>\n
The IDF is in contact with the Bibas family, Shoshani said. “We emphasise the family’s request to show responsibility and not publish unauthorised reports,” he added.<\/p>\n
Israel’s National Centre for Forensic Medicine was preparing to conduct an identification test on the body, Israel’s Channel 12 reported.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
