The #HamasMovement have released a statement in Hebrew on their English language telegram channel. They say the body returned as Shiri Bibas was accidentally misidentified, and they have asked for the body of the Palestinian woman to be returned.

Automated translation:

"We also point out the possibility of a mistake or mix-up in the bodies, which may have resulted from the bombing of the place where the family was staying with other Palestinians.

We will inform the mediating brothers of the results of our examination and investigation, and at the same time call for the return of the body that the occupation claims belongs to a Palestinian woman who was killed during the Zionist bombing."

The statement seems to have been released about an hour ago. I found it via the Arabic channel which I in turn found on the BBC Monitoring investigative unit website a few months ago.
