Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned Hamas after the Israeli military said one of the bodies released by the militant group was not Shiri Bibas nor any of the captives held in Gaza, accusing it of violating the ceasefire. 'The cruelty of the Hamas monsters knows no bounds,' the Israeli prime minister said in a video statement. Netanyahu added that his government would 'ensure Hamas pays the full price for this cruel and evil violation of the agreement'. Hamas has not issued any public comment on the accusation, which threatens to derail the fragile ceasefire agreement reached with US backing and the help of Qatari and Egyptian mediators last month.

Bus blasts in Israel are ‘suspected terror attack’, say police.
