Israel claims Hamas executed Bibas brothers with bare hands, igniting outrage

Israel announced that forensic evidence shows Hamas killed the Bibas brothers, Ariel and Kfir, with their bare hands after kidnapping them in October 2023. This claim has sparked outrage and condemnation. The Israeli Defense Forces stated the boys were murdered in Gaza no later than November 2023, contradicting Hamas's claims that they died in an airstrike. The boys' mother, Shiri Bibas, was not returned, raising further concerns. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed deep sorrow over the deaths, calling the actions of Hamas monstrous. He vowed to seek justice for the Bibas family and condemned the violence against innocent children.
