Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed revenge after Hamas handed over the wrong body under the ceasefire deal, labeling it a 'cruel and malicious violation.' The misidentified remains, instead of Shiri Bibas, an Israeli mother, have cast doubt on the truce aimed at halting the prolonged conflict.

Six more hostages are due for release under the ceasefire, which has temporarily paused over 15 months of warfare. Hamas has promised a review, citing possible confusion caused by Israeli bombing. The revelation has sparked renewed tensions with arguments over responsibility and compliance on both sides.

The incident could affect upcoming exchanges, including a planned release of more hostages and bodies. Meanwhile, the Israeli military is ramping up West Bank operations after bomb incidents, indicating potential escalation. Both sides hold firm stances, threatening the fragile ceasefire's future.
