Hamas restored the bodies of four Israeli hostages of killing at a special delivery ceremony tonight, days after the terrorist group confessed that it had “mixed” the body of Sherry Pepas.
A dark exchange comes at a time when Israel is mourning the death of Sherry and its two children, whose fate has been for a long time due to the conflicting Hamas reports.

The bodies of Tsaeh Egaidan, Izik Elgarat, Ohah Yahalumi, and Shlomo Mantzour were transferred according to the conditions of the ceasefire deal in Gaza.
Unlike its previous twisted celebrations, the terrorists restored the hostages of the hostages in an unlimited special delivery.
In the early hours of Thursday, the Prime Minister's Office confirmed that the Israeli Defense Army has acquired the dates of Hamas on the bodies of four dead Israeli hostages.
He was delivered at the Kere Shalom crossing with the participation of Egyptian brokers, according to PMO.
Israel has now started its initial legal examination of the remains.
The hostages families are kept aware of throughout the operation and will receive official confirmation as soon as the definitions are completed.
Hamas claimed that Israel would export more than 400 Palestinian prisoners, but the Israeli authorities insisted that they wait until their hostages arrived and were identified properly.
According to what was reported, the Red Cross bus, which carries Palestinian prisoners, left Over prison at about one in the morning local time, and went to the Bitonia checkpoint near Ramallah, where they will be released.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Palestinians gathered at the Ramallah Cultural Palace to welcome the liberated detainees.
Arab media reports indicate that prisoners who were released in Jerusalem are accompanying the house from the Russian Council detention center.
The return of Israeli bodies will not distinguish an immediate end to suffering.
The Ministry of Health in Israel confirmed earlier on Wednesday that it is preparing to determine the remains at the Kerem Shalom crossing, located on the Gaza border.
Once the definition is completed, the bodies will be transferred to the National Institute of Forensic Medicine in the post -death to determine the accurate causes of death.
A team from the institute was sent to Kerem SHALOM, but the state of the remains can hold this process, according to Israeli times.
If the field recognition proves it is difficult, the bodies may need to be transferred to Abu Kabir to perform more examination, and perhaps the operation will be extended according to hours or even days.
A source in the Israeli media added that the release of Palestinian prisoners will only happen once the identities of the hostages are positively confirmed.
This step is a response to previous mistakes, including the incident in which Hamas was initially handed over the wrong body-a mixture that includes a invading woman instead of Sherry Pepas.
The error, which was later corrected, led to a lack of confidence, which led Israel to insist on procedures for identifying a comprehensive identity.
French President Emmanuel Macron also praised Ohad Yahalomi, the national dualism, one of the four, saying: “With all my heart with the family and loved ones.”
The Israelis are in mourning, while the Bibbas -Sherry family and its young buildings, Ariel and Kafir – were buried today after Hamas admitted that the group had destroyed their remains “by mistake.
Their fate, which was revealed last week, has sparked more anger at the hostage crisis.
US President Donald Trump has condemned Hamas because of the delivery: “They believe that they are offering us in favor of sending the bodies of the United States. This is a vicious group of people.”
During the cabinet meeting, it was reflected in the despair of the hostage families.
He recalls, “I spoke to many parents … they want almost these bodies, and perhaps even in the same extent, as they wanted their son or daughter,” he recalls.

Molecomed celebrations
This latest edition follows Israel's decision to stop the exchange of previous prisoners after Hamas organized what Israeli officials called “insulting” public celebrations, with the display of the freed prisoners in Gaza.
Tonight exchange is made separately to avoid similar scenes.
The Prison Authority in Israel confirmed that Palestinian prisoners will not be released until the bodies are officially identified.
However, Hamas official claims that the prisoners should have been released simultaneously and that the terrorist group had already agreed to the deal proposed by the mediators.
Despite Hamas's attempts to take advantage of the hostage crisis, the return of the four bodies represents the final exchange under the first stage of the fragile ceasefire agreement.

Israel is in mourning
While Israel is wrestling with the latest terrible delivery, thousands of mourners lined up on the streets of the funeral of Sherry Pipas and its two children, Ariel and Kfir, whose death was confirmed only last week.
He led their husband and the sad father, Yarden Pepas, emotional farewell, as they gave a vibrant praise like his wife and two boys to rest in the same coffin.
“Sherry, I love you and I will always love you! Sherry, you are all for me! You are the best wife and mother can be there.”
“Sherry, please watch me … guard me so that I don't drown in the dark, I love you!”
Fighting of tears, addressed his children.
“Ariel, I hope you are not angry at me for their failure to protect you properly and your absence for you. I hope you know that I thought you every day, every minute.”
He talked about the nine -month -old KFIR, recalling their dear morning routine.
“KFIR, I love you more in the world, always in the world! I have a lot of things to tell you all, but I will save them when we are alone.”
The last journey of the Bibas family took them via Rishon Lezion, where the mourners canceled the Israeli flags and released hundreds of orange balloons – in honor of the color of the brotherhood of brotherhood.
A procession passed through Yavny, Ishdoud and Ilkelon before reaching the Hanigaf logo, near the Gaza border.
In Tel Aviv, the huge crowds gathered in the hostage field to see a living course of the procession. The residence of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was also lit in the orange in their honor.
“While an entire nation prayed and hopes to obtain a different result, we left wounded and pain,” Netanyahu's office said in a statement.
“However, even in our sadness, we will continue to pray for better days and for a quick return to all the remaining hostages who are still being held in Gaza.”

Firing
The continuous ceasefire between Israel and Hamas – announced on January 15 after 15 months of war – was suspended by the United States, Qatar and Egypt.
It aims to permanently end the brutal fighting and secure the hostages of the hostages in Gaza in exchange for the Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
The first phase of the agreement, which was appointed to 42 days, includes a total of 33 editions of hostages by Hamas, in exchange for nearly 1900 Palestinian prisoners.
While the deal also allows humanitarian aid to flow to Gaza and the displaced civilians to return to their homes, any error calms down to detect months of accurate negotiations.
What happened on October 7?
On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a sudden attack on Israel, representing one of the darkest days in the country's history.
Terrorists stormed the border from Gaza, killing more than 1,200 people – mostly civilians – and kidnapped 250 others, including women, children and the elderly.
The coordinated attack on the infiltration of armed fighters with weapons, the Kibutzam, and the military bases, witnessed the release of indiscriminate violence.
The innocent families were slaughtered in their homes, and graphic footage of atrocities has spread on social media, leaving the world in shock.
In addition to attacking people in their homes, they stormed the Nova Music Pece Festival – killing at least 364 people there.
The massacre sparked a rapid and huge reprisal response from Israel, and escalated into a widespread war.
The attack was not only less than long -term tensions in the region, but also left deep scars on both sides of the conflict, which paves the way for 15 months of the destruction that followed.
