Related: About this forumNow this is rich: Hamas says it is 'surprised by uproar' regarding Shiri Bibas, will carry out own investigation
Hamas denied Israel's announcement that the hostage body returned on Thursday wasn't that of Shiri Bibas, saying it was "surprised by the uproar" in an official statement on Friday.
"Hamas is surprised by the uproar caused by the occupation following its claim that the body of the detainee, Shiri Bibas, does not match the DNA test," the terror group said.
Hamas also said that if it found Israel's forensic results to be true, it would "call for the return of the body" that was brought to Israel, which "the occupation claims belongs to a Palestinian woman."
The IDF confirmed on Friday morning that the hostage remains released on Thursday belonged to Ariel and Kfir Bibas. However, the third body "was not that of Shiri Bibas, and no match was found for any other hostage. It is an anonymous body without identification," Israel's military stated.

What a surprise! There is finally uproar over terrorists kidnapping a woman and her children, holding them hostage, murdering them shortly thereafter, lying about the circumstances of their deaths, peddling their dead corpses in a "deal" to release convicted mass murderers, secretly switching corpses in a returned coffin...and this is not the end of their depravity by any means.
Call me weird, but I am surprised by the extended absence of uproar between the moment Shiri Bibas was taken hostage and now. Very surprised, and very disappointed.

I know a falafel joint in Brooklyn owned by a colonizer. Feeling like charging a Zionist with genocide today?

According to the Instagram page
- Hamas is the "Palestinian Resistance",
- the murdered Bibas children were "captives"
- yesterday's release of their bodies was part of a "prisoner exchange"
