Although Hamas transferred four bodies to Israel: After the three deceased abductees who were returned overnight (Wednesday) were identified, comprehensive examinations were carried out at the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Abu Kabir, which revealed that the fourth body handed over to Israel was not that of an Israeli abductee.
According to a report by Amit Segal, the fourth body was that of an Israeli in an IDF uniform, and that it was probably a terrorist who was shot during the war.
Israel updated the mediators.
An IDF spokesman said, "After completing the tests at the National Center for Forensic Medicine, the fourth body handed over to Israel by Hamas does not match that of a kidnapped person.".
""Hamas is required to make all necessary efforts to return the deceased hostages.".
The Prime Minister's Office stated: "Hamas is required to fulfill its commitments to the mediators and return them as part of the implementation of the agreement. We will not compromise on this and will spare no effort until we return all the deceased hostages, down to the last one.".
This is a cynical and cruel game by the Hamas terrorist organization, which was already played last February, when instead of returning the body of Shiri Bibas as part of the hostage deal agreement, Hamas handed over the body of an anonymous Gazan.
This morning, it was announced that the bodies of Tamir Nimrudi, Eitan Levi, and Uriel Baruch, who were kidnapped in the Gaza Strip during the October 7 massacre, have been identified, and their bodies have since been held by the terrorist organization.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir responded: "Enough of the humiliation. A moment after opening the gates to hundreds of trucks, Hamas quickly returned to its well-known methods - lying, deceiving, and abusing families and bodies. Nazi terror understands only force, and the only way to solve problems with it is to wipe it off the face of the earth.".
