Israel claims Hamas killed hostages Ariel and Kfir Bibas with bare hands while Hamas denies the accusation
Israel claims that Hamas terrorists killed hostages Ariel and Kfir Bibas with their bare hands. The IDF stated that the boys were murdered in cold blood, while Hamas denies this, asserting they died in an Israeli airstrike. The bodies of Ariel, four, and Kfir, nine months, were returned as part of a cease-fire deal. However, Israel received an unidentified body instead of their mother, Shiri Bibas. Prime Minister Netanyahu condemned Hamas for this violation. Hamas is investigating the situation and denies any interest in retaining bodies. They rejected Netanyahu's accusations, stating he is responsible for the deaths of the Bibas family.
