AI Summary:
Israel says forensic evidence shows the boys were killed by their captors in November 2023. Israelis endure another moment of agony when testing showed one of the bodies returned by Hamas was identified as someone else. Yarden Bibas was abducted separately and released alive in a different handover last month. Israelis learned of Kfir Bibas’ love for Batman. Ariel Bibas eulogized his family as the character. “I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you all,” he said. Shiri Bibas Levy asks forgiveness on behalf of Israel’s government and military. “There is no meaning to forgiveness before the failures are investigated, and all officials take responsibility,” she says. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls the delayed release of the remains a “cruel and malicious violation” of the ceasefire agreement.
