Hamas Returns Misidentified Remains, Confirms Brutal Killing of Bibas Children

The Israeli Army has identified the remains of two young brothers as those of Ariel and Kfir Bibas, while the body purported to be their mother, Shiri Bibas, remains unidentified.

• The Israeli Army has confirmed that Ariel and Kfir Bibas, aged four years and nine months at the time of their abduction, were killed in captivity by Hamas in November 2023.
• Hamas handed over four bodies to the Red Cross, claiming one was Shiri Bibas, but forensic analysis revealed the remains did not match her identity or any other known hostage.
• The return of misidentified remains has been labeled a severe violation of the ceasefire agreement by Israel, which is demanding the immediate release of all hostages, including Shiri Bibas.
• The Bibas family, including the two children and their parents, was abducted during the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, with the father, Jarden Bibas, released earlier this month.
• The staged handover of the bodies, accompanied by propaganda imagery, has drawn international condemnation for its insensitivity and use as a political spectacle.
