Hamas to Release Hostage Bodies, Sparking Outrage Over Murdered Children
Following Cairo negotiations, Hamas announced the release of four deceased Israeli hostages, including the Bibas children, on Thursday, and six living hostages on Saturday. This agreement, confirmed by the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, involves the return of Eliya Cohen, Tal Shoham, Omer Shem Tov, Omer Wenkert, Hisham al-Sayed, and Avera Mengistu. Four additional deceased hostages are expected next week, contingent upon Israel releasing Palestinian prisoners. Egyptian officials confirmed the successful talks involving multiple international parties.
