The two brothers Kfir, 10 months, and Ariel Bibas, 4, along with their mother, were taken hostage by Hamas on October 7. But the mother and the two children were killed as a result of Israel's bombing in Gaza. This is what the Al Qassam Brigade, the military wing of Hamas, announced today.
Kfir was the youngest of many children kidnapped by terrorists on October 7 from the kibbutz.
The Israeli army, for its part, emphasizes that it is investigating the allegations against the mother and the two young children. As Israel announced, investigations are focusing on how the members of the Bibas family were killed.
For the baby's return to Israel, a demonstration was held on Tuesday, in which those gathered released 500 orange balloons, the color of the child's hair, into the sky.
No one had heard anything more about the Bibas family, and on Tuesday their relatives made sure their voices were heard and provoked the reaction of Israeli and international public opinion. However, apparently the little family has suffered a tragic fate.
