The Israeli army on Friday accused the militants of the Palestinian Hamas movement that “cold -blooded and bare hands” killed the hostage of Kfira and Ariela Bibas, whose bodies Hamas handed over to Israel on Thursday. The army appealed to forensic analysis. According to the AFP report, TASR reports this.
Kfir was barely nine months at the time of kidnapping and was hostage kidnapped. His brother Ariel was four years old.
“Ariela and Kfira killed militants in cold blood. The terrorists did not shoot two little boys – they killed them with bare hands. Then they committed terrible actions to cover these atrocities, “said the spokesman of the Israeli army Daniel Hagari.
The Israeli Forum of Hostage and Missed Family forums said it was “shaken” by the army’s claim, according to which Palestinian militants killed two boys “bare hands”.
Hamas on Wednesday through the Red Cross of Israel handed over the bodies of four deceased hostages – Lifšica, Širi Bibasová and her two little sons – Kfira and Ariela, whose Palestinians kidnapped from Kibbuc Nir Oz 7. The radical movement claims that they died during the Israeli shelling at the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip and their death was accused by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Israeli army, however, said on Friday night that one of the four passed bodies did not belong to the mother of the boys Širi Bibas or any other Israeli hostage, as Hamas claimed. The identity of Ariela and Kfira Bibasovcov, according to her statement, managed to confirm. The army referred to reports and the available intelligence information stated that captivity boys were killed by Palestinian “terrorists” in November 2023.
The family has accused Benjamin Netanyahu of insufficient protection
The family of the deceased boys on Friday accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that during the Hamas attack on Israel of October 7, 2023, he did not protect their loved ones and did not ensure their return home.
“It was the responsibility and duty of Israel to bring their home the living,” said Siri Shiri Bibabosva, Ofri, in a statement published by the organization of the Forum Hostage and Family of the Missing.
Ofri Bibas said that her family does not want to take revenge now, but she wants them to get back the Body Širi. In her statement, she also called on US President Donald Trump, an ally of Israel to “help Israel and our family to complete this important mission”.
Netanyahu accused Hamas of breach of the ceasefire agreement by putting the body of a woman from Gaza instead of the Bibas Bibas “.
Hamas said the remains of Širi Bibas were probably confused with the body of another victim in the Gaza Strip.
