    Palestinian resistance factions have provided safe shelter to Israeli
    hostage Shiri Bibas and her children and treated them humanely, but
    their army killed them, a Palestinian commander said on Thursday,
    Anadolu reports.

    Hamas handed over the bodies of Shiri, her two children; Ariel and
    Kfir, and Oded Lifshitz in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis on
    Thursday under a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement with
    Israel.

    The Palestinian group said the four captives were killed in
    indiscriminate Israeli bombardment during IsraelÆs genocidal war in
    Gaza.

    ôShiri had served in the Israeli armyÆs Southern Command and worked in
    Unit 8200, IsraelÆs elite electronic intelligence division,ö the
    commander of the Mujahideen Brigades, the military wing of the
    Mujahideen Movement, said during the handover ceremony of the four
    killed hostages.

    ôUpon her capture, we placed ShiriÆs children with her out of
    compassion, provided them with a safe and comfortable shelter, and
    treated them humanely as our Islamic faith commands,ö he said.

    ôBut due to the indiscriminate and brutal bombing by the Israeli army,
    they were killed along with their captors,ö he added.

    Unlike the corpses of Palestinian bodies whose remains were returned
    by Israel piled in bags without proper identification, the bodies of
    the four Israeli captives were placed in separate caskets with
    identification details.

    The Gaza ceasefire deal took effect last month, halting IsraelÆs
    genocidal war that has killed over 48,300 people, mostly women and
    children, and left the enclave in ruins.

    Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants
    for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense
    Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in
    Gaza.

    Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of
    Justice for its war on the enclave.
