Hamas says the body of hostage Shiri Bibas has now been handed over, according to the group's Al-Aqsa TV channel - as the Israeli military says it is checking the reports.

Israel said on Thursday that Ms Bibas was not among the four bodies handed over on Thursday as part of the ceasefire agreement, instead receiving an "anonymous body without identification".

The failure to hand over the correct body caused outrage in Israel, and prompted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to vow that Hamas "pays the full price for this cruel and evil violation".

According to the Hamas-run broadcaster Al-Aqsa, the group handed over Ms Bibas's body on Friday.

Hamas previously claimed there was the "possibility of an error or overlap in the bodies" which may have been caused by Israel "targeting and bombing the place where the family was with other Palestinians".

Basem Naim, a member of the Hamas political bureau, later said "unfortunate mistakes" occurred and also suggested Israeli bombing had mixed the bodies of Israeli hostages and Palestinians.

He added in a statement: "We confirm that it is not in our values or our interest to keep any bodies or not to abide by the covenants and agreements that we sign."

In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said: "Following the reports regarding Shiri Bibas, they are currently under review. IDF representatives are in contact with the family."

Ms Bibas was kidnapped with her sons - four-year-old Ariel, and nine-month-old Kfir - from the Niz Or kibbutz during the group's terror attack on Israel in October 2023.

1:10Hamas hands over bodies of Israeli hostages

The IDF confirmed the bodies of the two boys were positively identified on Thursday. However, it claimed the children had been murdered by Hamas with "bare hands".

Hamas however claimed Ms Bibas and her children were all killed in an Israeli airstrike in November 2023, near the start of the war.

It comes ahead of the next round of hostage releases on Saturday - the final one during the first six-week phase of the ceasefire agreement, which came into effect last month.

The hostages due for release are Eliya Cohen, Omer Shem Tov, Tal Shoham, Omer Wenkert, Hisham al Sayed and Avera Mengisto.

It also comes after Israeli defence minister Israel Katz instructed the IDF to intensify operations in the West Bank after a series of bus explosions in a city near Tel Aviv.

Two of the blasts were in the city of Bat Yam on Thursday night, and a third was reported in the nearby town of Holon. No injuries were reported.
