The director of the Abu Kabir National Institute of Forensic Medicine, Dr. Chen Kugel, announced on Saturday that the remains transferred to Israel by Hamas were positively identified as belonging to Shiri Bibas.

Two days earlier, Hamas had turned over four bodies as part of the ceasefire agreement with Israel. Two of the bodies were identified as belonging to the two young Bibas children, Ariel (age 4) and Kfir (age ten months). Another body was identified as Oded Lifshitz, age 83.

The Bibas’ father, Yarden, was released in a hostage deal earlier this month.

The fourth body was positively identified as not belonging to the mother, Shiri Bibasa, or any other hostage. Hamas admitted the body was a random Palestinian woman, violating the terms of the ceasefire.

Hamas handed over the body of Shiri Bibas on Friday night. Dr. Kugel reported that there was no evidence that Shiri Bibas died in an explosion, refuting Hamas’s claims that she and her sons were killed in an Israeli airstrike.

“We identified Shiri Bibas two days after we identified her children,” Kugel said. “Our examination found no evidence of injuries caused by bombing.”

Forensic evidence revealed that the mother and her children were murdered “in cold blood” in November 2023.
