Netanyahu on Hamas body release, explosions, hostages

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said a body Hamas militants released during the handover of remains is that of a woman from Gaza, not Shiri Bibas, the mother of two young boys whose remains were returned Thursday. Meanwhile, a series of explosions on three parked buses rattled central Israel Thursday in what authorities suspect was a militant attack. Hamas announced early Friday that it will release six Israeli hostages—Eliya Cohen, Omer Shem Tov, Tal Shoham, Omer Wenkert, Hisham al-Sayed, and Avera Mengisto—on Saturday.
