Hamas hands over four Israeli captives’ bodies in Gaza’s Khan Younis

Doha, Qatar: Hamas has handed over the bodies of four Israeli captives, including members of the Bibas family, in Khan Younis, Gaza. 

On the handover of the bodies of four Israeli captives, Hamas said in a statement it “preserved the lives of the occupation prisoners”, provided them with what it could, and “treated them humanely, but their army killed them along with their captors”.

“Criminal Netanyahu is crying today over the bodies of his prisoners who returned to him in coffins, in a blatant attempt to evade responsibility for their killing in front of his audience,” Hamas added.

Addressing the mourning families of the captives, it further said,  “We would have preferred your sons to return to you alive, but your army and government leaders chose to kill them instead of bringing them back.”
