Hamas killed Bibas boys with their bare hands, Israel says after kids’ remains are returned… without their murdered mum

EVIL Hamas murdered the Bibas brothers with their bare hands, Israel says. The remains of  9-month-old Kfir and four-year-old Ariel were handed over to Israel in a sickening parade on Thursday. The siblings were returned alongside a casket believed to contain the remains of their mum Shiri but the IDF said they belonged to "an anonymous, unidentified" person instead.

Following forensic analysis of the boys' remains, the Israeli military deemed that the terror group killed the boys "with their bare hands.". IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari said: “Ariel and Kfir Bibas were murdered by terrorists in cold blood. "The terrorists did not shoot the two young boys—they killed them with their bare hands.

"Afterwards, they committed horrific acts to cover up these atrocities. "This assessment is based on both forensic findings from the identification process and intelligence that supports the findings.". Mr Hagari added: “Our hearts go out to Yarden Bibas, Kfir and Ariel’s father and Shiri’s husband” who was released earlier this month.

Hagari also said the fourth set of the released remains, Oded Lifshitz, was killed by Hamas inside Gaza. Just hours after the twisted ceremony the IDF announced they couldn't identify the body they had received as Shiri's. Hamas said it was investigating a possible error in identifying the human remains handed to Israel instead of Shiri.

A Hamas senior official Ismail al-Thawabteh said Shiri's body was “turned into pieces” in an Israeli airstrike - which Israel vehemently denies ever took place - and may have been “mixed with other bodies under the rubble”. The terror group insists the four hostages were killed by an Israeli airstrike in November 2023.

The Israeli Hostages and Missing Families Forum said it was “shaken” by the "barbaric" killing of the Bibas boys. A statement read: “We are shaken to the core by the horrifying findings confirming the cruel and brutal murder of Ariel and Kfir Bibas - just innocent infants - at the hands of Hamas.”.

The Bibas family accused Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu of failing to protect their loved ones during Hamas's 2023 attack and of failing to bring them home. The boys' aunt Ofri Bibas said: "It was Israel's responsibility and obligation to bring them back alive.

By Nick Parker, Foreign Editor. WHAT are the cornered Hamas rats thinking when they line up the ­coffins of murdered children in front of a picture of Benjamin Netanyahu as a blood-soaked vampire?. Do they really think stunts like this will garner more support from their deluded followers, who believe Israel is the epitome of all evil?.

Do they think twisting the knife in the open wounds of an Israeli public struggling to contain its grief will weaken their enemy?. On both counts they are wrong and the more they bait and wind up Israel, the more they will come to regret it in the fullness of time.

Hamas and its death cult ideology is a spent force and making Israelis weep with anger may be its only remaining weapon — and one which will soon by turned against them. The gamechanger in the Middle East is US President Donald Trump. He is 200 per cent on Israel’s side.

Israelis mourning the deaths of children, their mother and a peace campaigner should at least take comfort — evil Hamas will not be allowed to run Gaza much longer. "There is no forgiveness for abandoning them on October 7, and no forgiveness for abandoning them in captivity. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, we did not receive an apology from you in this painful moment.".

She added: "My sweet nephews were taken alive from their home and murdered by a cruel terrorist organisation while in captivity. "They didn't deserve such a fate. "Our painful journey, which has already lasted 16 months, is not over. October 7 continues. We are still waiting for Shiri and fear for her fate.

"For Ariel and Kfir's sake, and for Yarden's sake, we are not seeking revenge right now. We are asking for Shiri. "Their cruelty only emphasises the urgent need to bring Shiri back to us, save the lives of the living hostages and return all the fallen for burial.".

Israel has demanded Hamas to "return Shiri home along with all our hostages" immediately. Israeli PM has accused Hamas of violating the ceasefire deal by handing over the body of a woman from Gaza instead of Shiri. He described it as an "unspeakable" act which shows "the cruelty of the Hamas monsters knows no bounds".

He added in a video statement: "We will act with determination to bring Shiri home along with all our hostages - both living and dead - and ensure Hamas pays the full price for this cruel and evil violation of the agreement.". Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon quickly slammed the Palestinian militants as he said they treated the coffin like a "worthless shipment”.

“This is a new low, an evil and cruelty with no parallel,” he said in a statement. “There are no words that can describe such an atrocity.”. Baby Kfir - the youngest captive - was only nine months old when he was forced to spend the majority of his life as a Hamas prisoner.
