Rifle-toting gunmen were deployed around a stage on which four black coffins \u2014 each bearing the image of a deceased hostage \u2014 had been placed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Officials with the International Committee for the Red Cross placed the coffins in waiting white vehicles. The Israeli government later confirmed that the Red Cross had brought them to waiting Israeli forces inside Gaza.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Miles away, Israelis watched the scene in horror and dismay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The four dead hostages had been identified by Hamas as Shiri Bibas, 32, her redheaded young children Ariel, 4, and Kfir, nine months old; and Oded Lifshitz, 84. The bodies are expected to undergo forensic testing in Israel to confirm their identities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">All four were abducted during the Oct. 7 attack in which roughly 1,200 people were killed and 250 taken hostage, according to Israel. For many Israelis, the deliberate abduction of Ms. Bibas and her children epitomized the viciousness of the assault.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Israel\u2019s relentless campaign against Hamas in Gaza quickly followed, killing tens of thousands of Palestinians and leaving much of the enclave in ruins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was not immediately clear how the four hostages had died, although Hamas has said they were killed in Israeli airstrikes. Israeli officials have yet to confirm the cause of death.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In late January, Israel and Hamas reached an agreement to stop the fighting for at least six weeks. Hamas agreed to turn over 25 living Israeli hostages and the bodies of eight others in exchange for more than 1,500 Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since then, Israelis and Palestinians have witnessed emotional homecomings \u2014 hostages reuniting with their families after a terrifying year in Hamas\u2019s underground tunnel network \u2014 as returning Palestinian prisoners have embraced loved ones outside of prison for the first time in decades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Hamas has used the hostage releases to hold elaborate ceremonies demonstrating its dominance in Gaza, deploying dozens of well-organized gunmen and occasionally forcing hostages being freed to give speeches from makeshift stages.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Rawan Sheikh Ahmad<!-- -->
