Palestinian resistance factions have provided safe shelter to Israeli
hostage Shiri Bibas and her children and treated them humanely, but
their army killed them, a Palestinian commander said on Thursday,
Anadolu reports.
Hamas handed over the bodies of Shiri, her two children; Ariel and
Kfir, and Oded Lifshitz in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis on
Thursday under a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement with
Israel.
The Palestinian group said the four captives were killed in
indiscriminate Israeli bombardment during Israels genocidal war in
Gaza.
Shiri had served in the Israeli armys Southern Command and worked in
Unit 8200, Israels elite electronic intelligence division, the
commander of the Mujahideen Brigades, the military wing of the
Mujahideen Movement, said during the handover ceremony of the four
killed hostages.
Upon her capture, we placed Shiris children with her out of
compassion, provided them with a safe and comfortable shelter, and
treated them humanely as our Islamic faith commands, he said.
But due to the indiscriminate and brutal bombing by the Israeli army,
they were killed along with their captors, he added.
Unlike the corpses of Palestinian bodies whose remains were returned
by Israel piled in bags without proper identification, the bodies of
the four Israeli captives were placed in separate caskets with
identification details.
The Gaza ceasefire deal took effect last month, halting Israels
genocidal war that has killed over 48,300 people, mostly women and
children, and left the enclave in ruins.
Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants
for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense
Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in
Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of
Justice for its war on the enclave.
