IDF accuses Hamas for Brutal Murder of Two Israeli Children

Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has accused Hamas for murdering of its two Israeli children, Ariel and Kfir Bibas, by while being held captive. The tragic news was delivered to the children’s family following a thorough identification process.

Ariel, four years old, and Kfir, ten months old, were abducted from their home in Nir Oz, along with their mother, Shiri Bibas. Their father, Yarden Bibas, was taken captive earlier and was released on February 1, 2025, as part of a hostage exchange agreement.

During the identification process, the IDF made a disturbing discovery. An additional body received was not that of Shiri Bibas, and no match was found for any other hostage. This anonymous, unidentified body has sparked outrage, with the IDF condemning it as a “violation of utmost severity” by Hamas.

Hamas had agreed to return four deceased hostages but instead returned an unidentified body, raising serious concerns. The IDF has demanded that Hamas return Shiri Bibas and all remaining hostages, ensuring their safe return.

The Bibas family has been informed of the tragic news, and the IDF has extended its heartfelt condolences.
