Israel has made a shocking revelation, declaring that Hamas terrorists brutally murdered Israeli brothers Ariel and Kfir Bibas with their bare hands. This announcement comes after Hamas had long claimed that the youngsters were killed in a targeted airstrike carried out by Israel.
According to the Israel Defense Forces, the terrorists did not shoot the two young boys but killed them with their bare hands. Afterward, they committed horrific acts to cover up these atrocities. The remains of Ariel and Kfir Bibas were positively identified after being returned to Israel as part of an ongoing cease-fire deal.
It was revealed that the Bibas family, who had become symbols of the plight of Israeli hostages, had held out hope that the boys and their mother, Shiri, were still alive after being kidnapped by Hamas. However, Israeli officials confirmed that the boys were brutally murdered by terrorists in captivity in November 2023.
The family had been hopeful after Hamas claimed that the children and their mother were killed in an Israeli airstrike in November 2023. The confirmation of their demise came this week after it was revealed that the boys and their mom would be among the four hostages Hamas agreed to turn over.
While Ariel and Kfir Bibas, along with another hostage, 83-year-old Oded Lifshitz, were positively identified, the fourth casket, supposed to hold their mother, contained an unidentified body. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed revenge for this “cruel and malicious violation” of the cease-fire deal.
The trio had become an enduring symbol of heartbreak for Israel, with footage and images showing Shiri clutching her two boys tightly while surrounded by terrorists. Shiri’s husband, Yarden Bibas, was also taken hostage on the same day as his family but was released alive by Hamas on February 1.
During his captivity, Yarden was forced to announce the death of his loved ones in a propaganda video. The IDF extended their heartfelt condolences to the Bibas family and reiterated their commitment to bringing Shiri and all the hostages home at the earliest opportunity.
The memory of Oded Lifshitz and Ariel and Kfir Bibas will be forever enshrined in the heart of the nation, with Israel vowing to avenge their deaths and ensure that Hamas pays the full price for their actions.
