JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed revenge for what he described as a “cruel and malicious violation” of the ceasefire agreement with Hamas. His remarks followed the release of a body that Israeli authorities found was not that of an Israeli mother of two young boys, as the Palestinian militants had promised. Hamas said it would conduct a review of the information regarding the body. The group suggested a possible mix-up of remains might have occurred due to Israeli bombing of the area where the Israeli hostages were being held. Later, a small militant group in Gaza that was believed to have hostage Shiri Bibas’ body, said they had turned over her remains to the Red Cross.
