A Hamas official stated that Shiri Bibas’ remains appear to have mixed with others under the rubble following an Israeli airstrike on the location where she was held.

Ismail Thawabteh, a Hamas leader, said Bibas’ body was “torn apart after apparently mixing with other bodies under the rubble of a site deliberately targeted by Israeli warplanes.”

He added, “Netanyahu himself ordered the ruthless airstrikes and bears full responsibility for her brutal killing along with her children.”
