[00:00.18] The Israeli military said on Friday that one of the bodies released by Hamas did not belong to any of the hostages held in Gaza, accusing Hamas of violating an already shaky cease-fire.
[00:11.86] The military said two of the bodies were identified as infant Kfir Bibas and his four-year-old brother Ariel,
[00:18.77] while a third body that was supposed to be their mother Shiri was found not to match with any hostage and remain unidentified.
[00:26.20] The military said in a statement, "This is a violation of utmost severity by the Hamas terrorist organization, which is obliged under the agreement to return four deceased hostages."
[00:37.63] The family of hostage Oded Lifshitz said in a statement that his body had been formally identified.
[00:43.74] Palestinian militants handed over four black coffins in a carefully orchestrated public display as a crowd of Palestinians and dozens of armed Hamas militants watched.
[00:54.36] The purported remains of the boys, their mother, and Lifshitz were handed over under the Gaza cease-fire agreement reached last month with the backing of the U.S. and the mediation of Qatar and Egypt.
