Israel says Bibas boys were among the dead bodies returned by Hamas – but not their mother

Israel says it has identified two of the dead bodies returned by Hamas on Thursday as Ariel and Kfir Bibas – but tests show another body that was expected to be that of their mother Shiri is not hers – and does not match any other Israeli hostage.

The Israeli military said forensic evidence and intelligence suggested the boys were murdered.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
