Israel has reported that Hamas killed two young brothers, Kfir and Ariel Bibas, with their bare hands.

Kfir, 9 months old, and Ariel, 4 years old, were taken hostage on October 7. The Israeli military stated that forensic analysis confirmed the boys were murdered by Hamas. The return of the boys' remains has raised concerns, as their mother’s remains were not included. The Israeli Defense Forces described the killings as cold-blooded acts by terrorists.
