The militants displayed four black coffins on a stage surrounded by banners as Red Cross vehicles arrived at the scene in the Gaza Strip on Thursday.

Hamas originally claimed in November 2023 the three members of the Bibas family had been killed in an Israeli air strike, without providing evidence. The BBC hasn't been able to independently verify this. Israel says it will not confirm their deaths before forensic testing.

The UN's human rights chief says the display during a handover ceremony breached international law, which demands remains of the dead be treated with dignity.
