Israel has said baby Kfir and his brother Ariel Bibas, five, were murdered by Hamas after being captured with their mother.
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said a body that Hamas militants released during the handover of hostages is that of a Gazan woman, and not that of Shiri.
The brothers were taken hostage with their mother Shiri Silberman-Bibas following the October 7 attacks in southern Israel by Hamas militants.
The UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the ‘vile killing of the Bibas children by Hamas terrorists is sick and abhorrent, as is the failure to return the body of their mother.’.
