The Hamas terror group has set up a stage in the Bani Suheila area of southern Gaza’s Khan Younis for the transfer of the bodies of four slain hostages today.
Hamas is set to be transferring slain hostages Shiri Bibas and her two children Ariel and Kfir, as well as Oded Lifshitz.
Images shared by Palestinian media show that the stage is covered with propaganda posters.
Most Israeli outlets, including Times of Israel, have decided not to air the live footage out of respect for the dead. It is being streamed online elsewhere. (Warning: Graphic footage.)
