Israel has accused Hamas of violating the ceasefire deal after forensic testing revealed the body returned from Gaza on Thursday was not that of Shiri Bibas.

The three other bodies handed over have been identified as her sons, Ariel and Kfir, who would have been aged five and two, and Oded Lifshitz, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said.

Hamas has not yet commented on Israel's claim.

Israel demanded the return of her body along with the other remaining hostages.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas will "pay the full price for this cruel and evil violation of the agreement".

"The hearts of an entire nation lie in tatters” said Israel's President Isaac Herzog, as the bodies of four hostages taken alive by Hamas in its attack on 7 October 2023 were returned to Tel Aviv.

Hamas said they were the remains of a mother and two children from the Bibas family, whose fate has gripped Israel. The news that Shiri Bibas and her sons, who would now be aged five and two, were dead triggered an outpouring of grief across the country. Israel has confirmed the identity of the fourth body - Oded Lifschitz, 84, a veteran peace activist - after a forensic examination.

Hamas claimed in November 2023 that the Bibas family had been killed in an Israeli air strike, without providing evidence. The Israeli government not confirmed the claim.

It is the first time Hamas has returned captives dead since the ceasefire began. Following Hamas's handover of the four bodies, thousands of Israelis gathered at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv and observed a minute's silence.

US President Donald Trump's crackdown on undocumented migrants is continuing to cause fear in communities across the country.

President Trump has previously said that he has no choice, and that deporting those who are in the country legally is "common sense".

But there is an economic consequence to these deportations - many small businesses are owned by undocumented migrants, or rely on them as workers.

Spain's former football federation boss Luis Rubiales has been found guilty of sexual assault for kissing player Jenni Hermoso without her consent and ordered to pay a fine of €10,800.

He was acquitted of coercion, for allegedly trying to pressure Hermoso into saying publicly that the kiss was consensual.

As Spain's players received their medals after defeating England in Sydney to win the 2023 World Cup, Rubiales grabbed Hermoso by the head and kissed her on the lips.

The ruling also banned Rubiales from going within a 200-meter radius of Hermoso and from communicating with her for one year, the court said in a statement.

President Trump has attacked Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him a "dictator" and deepening the rift between the two leaders.

It comes after Zelensky, reacting to US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia from which Kyiv was excluded, said the US president was "living in a disinformation space" governed by Moscow.

The "dictator" slur quickly prompted criticism from European leaders including German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who said "it is simply wrong and dangerous to deny President Zelensky his democratic legitimacy".

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer made it clear he backed Zelensky in a phone call to the Ukrainian president.
