Hamas said it had returned the bodies of Shiri Bibas and her two sons. The Israeli military announced that the boys were murdered in Gaza and that Ms. Bibas's body was that of someone else.
Hamas said it handed over four hostages to Israel in a display a senior U.N. official called "abhorrent and cruel." Israel later said only three bodies belonged to captives.
Israelis reacted with anger after finding that the bodies of four hostages released by Hamas did not include Shiri Bibas, who was abducted along with her sons.
