On October 7, after their orgy of rape, torture, murder, and mutilation, Hamas operatives kidnapped 240 Israelis and took them back to Gaza. Among them was the Bibas family — father Yarden, mother Shiri, four-year-old Ariel, and 10-month-year-old Kfir. The 10-month-old was the youngest of the 240 hostages, and his baby face became the poster child, in every sense, for all of them. Now Hamas has announced that the mother, her four-year-old son, and her 10-ten-month old baby were no longer alive; they had been killed in an “Israeli bombardment.” More on this grim story can be found here: “IDF investigating ‘cruel’ Hamas claim that Bibas children, mother killed in Gaza,” Times of Israel, November 29, 2023:
Fears were raised Wednesday [Nov. 29] for the youngest hostage held in the Gaza Strip after Hamas claimed that 10-month-old Kfir Bibas had been killed alongside his brother and mother.
Israel’s military said it was assessing the claim, while relatives said they were “waiting for the news to be confirmed or hopefully refuted soon” about the family members, who have become leading faces of the hostage crisis.
During the Hamas massacre of October 7, the Bibas family, including 10-month-old Kfir Bibas, his 4-year-old brother Ariel Bibas, and their mother Shiri Bibas — were kidnapped alive into Gaza,” the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.
“The barbarism and cruelty of Hamas is on full display to the world. IDF representatives spoke with the Bibas family following the recent reports and are with them at this difficult time. The IDF is assessing the accuracy of the information,” it added.
It follows a claim by the military wing of Hamas, which said earlier in the day that the three hostages had been killed in Gaza as the result of Israeli bombing.
NBC News could not verify the claim. Israel has accused Hamas of using civilians as human shields.
“Our family is updated on the latest Hamas publication. We are waiting for the news to be confirmed or hopefully refuted soon by military officials,” said the Bibas family in a statement released by the Hostages and Missing Families Forum.
It added: “We thank the people of Israel for the warm embrace but ask to maintain our privacy at this complex time.” Footage of kibbutz Nir Oz near the Gaza border as she clutched her two young children has become one of the lasting images of the terror attack, and the subsequent plight of the hostages inside Gaza.
At 10-months old, Kfir is believed to be the youngest captive.
Shiri Bibas’ husband, Yarden, was kidnapped alongside her and their children, but there was no information immediately available about his well-being….
Why was the father separated from his wife and children? Was he killed earlier than they, or is he possibly still alive? Why won’t Hamas say?
Do you believe that the Bibas family died in an Israeli bombardment? Had that happened, wouldn’t Hamas have made that news public at once, in order to persuade the Israeli public to pressure their own government to call a halt to that bombardment? And since Hamas claimed that it had long before handed off the family to another terrorist group that it did not name — most likely Palestinian Islamic Jihad — wouldn’t Hamas have been told by that group that the Bibas family had been killed by an Israeli airstrike? Wouldn’t it have made sense for Hamas to declare that news, so demoralizing in its effect on Israelis, right away?
But that bombardment story by Hamas is almost certainly false. It’s to cover up the cold-blooded murder of the Bibas family, either by operatives of Hamas or of another group. Why would they kill them? Because they could. They’d just murdered 1,200 Israelis. Why would killing a few more trouble them? Perhaps some of the family’s captors were sick and tired of the baby’s constant crying, killed him, and the ensuing uncontrollable weeping from his mother and his brother so infuriated them that in order to shut them up, too, they decided to kill those other family members as well. Why wouldn’t they? What’s a few more murdered Israelis to Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad?
I suspect that Hamas and PIJ have probably killed many more of the hostages than the Bibas family and the three hostages whose bodies the IDF has so far discovered on the grounds of the Shifa Hospital. Their deaths will soon become apparent as the hostage-prisoner exchange continues, and several dozen hostages who were known to have been taken alive will turn out to have been killed, so Hamas will claim, “in Israeli bombardments.” Murder, however, will out. And this news about the Bibas family has so enraged the Israelis that nothing will now stop them — not the UN, not the Bidenites, not the OIC, and certainly not the army of “two-state-solution” boys — from resuming their attacks with even greater ferocity than before the hostage-prisoner exchange started, in order to wipe out Hamas once and for all.
Hoi Polloi says
After the palis can no longer trade on hope of returned hostages they will probably begin to post videos where they boast of the terror and torture they inflicted on this family and thereby reveal just how the palis killed the hostages. They can’t resist.
somehistory says
they made the hostages watch videos of what they had done to the ones they murdered outright. It’s in their blood to show how much they lust to bleed others to death, and to brag about raping and murdering.

I saw a cart pulled by a donkey with about5 children and no adult. One child about 5 was crying and holding a baby and there was another with red hair. The only adult was a scraggy looking man about 45 driving the donkey heading down the corridor out of bombing or toward the Egypt crossing. It was on a news video. The red hair and age looked like the poster. I think they sold him or had a cart full of young kids, 2 babies, 3 & 4 or 5 holding the babies. I think they check all families and people in their tents or whatever. I think the littles are still alive to be raised Muslim or slave
Grannya says
That was my thoughts too, thanks for voicing your thoughts. I never saw that video but I would imagine it could be found and checked out.
John says
According to the statement you make to become a follower of the alleged prophet you declare yourself to be a slave to the diety that they call allah. Thus when you wake up and realize that mohammed was a fake you are subject to the death penalty for stealing from the diety
maria says
the muslim murderers killed the whole Bibas family tortured them and probably the muslim animals killed the rest of hostages.
All fakestinians and hamas animals must be all killed
Gaza must be free from all muslims as soon as possible
Jeffrey Fixler says
I’m afraid Hugh is right. Probably why the hostage release pause ended. The terrorists claimed there were no more non-soldier women and children left to be released. Yet we know of many who were kidnapped alive. Hamas is basically saying they killed them as they have admitted killing the Bibas family. Israel knows this , but understandably doesn’t want to upset the poor families of these people any more than they have to. All they can do now is destroy the terrorist regime.
bagsgroove says
As they say “He who lives by the sword,shall die by the sword,or all of his people will be
killed in a most horrible way,perhaps by the hand of God with a pestilence that will get rid this world of all damned moslums. Let them kill each other in the fires of hell.
Mo says
It’s unbearable.
When will Israel END THIS? When?!
Ginny says
When Gaza is glass. But more Hamas will spring up from everywhere. This cancer is incurable.
OLD GUY says
Yes it is possible that these three innocent people were killed by Israel in the counter attack. But the responsibility for those death remains with Hamas and the persons who abducted them in the first place.
This only happened because the people in Gaza attacked and abducted this family.
Ignert Rednek says
Islam is an ideology of hatred and extreme violence. It is pure evil. Islam and all traces of it should be removed from this universe.
Gourdhead says
No one thinks these filthy animals would lie about the death of this mother and her children, would they?
