Hamas handed over two dead children of the army of Israel. Studies shock the country again: Because the dead woman, who is also handed over, is not the mother.
The Israeli army confirmed the death of the two youngest Hamas Geiseln, Kfir and Ariel Bibas. The present findings have confirmed that “Ariel and Kfir Bibas were brutally killed by Palestinian terrorists in November 2023,” said army spokesman Avichay Adraee on Friday in the online service Telegram. One of the other corpses handed over by the Islamist militia are therefore not, as indicated by this, Shiri Bibas, the mother of the two dead children.
According to Adraee, the information on the death of the two children is based on the “assessment of the responsible authorities”. They were also based on the “available intelligence findings and diagnostic indicators”. Israel contradicts Hamas claims that the two children and her mother Shiri were killed by an Israeli air raid in November 2023.
Army in Israel: “blatant injury” of the ceasefire agreement
During the forensic studies, it was also found “that the other body handed over does not belong to Shiri Bibas and does not match another kidnapped person”. Instead of the German-Israeli, the Islamists handed over the remains of an unknown person on Thursday, said army spokesman Adraee.
This is a “blatant injury” of the ceasefire agreement through Hamas, he said. Israel immediately demands the publication of Shiri Bibas and all other hostages in the Gaza Strip from the Palestinian militia.

On Thursday, the Hamas had passed four dead hostages to the Red Cross. The 83-year-old Oded Lifshitz was identified as one of the four dead. Hamas had previously announced that it would also hand over the corpses of the German Israeli Shiri Bibas and her children Kfir and Ariel. With a view to the two little boys and their mother, there was no certainty at first.
Kfir was nine months old when kidnapped
Kfir and Ariel Bibas were the last children who were still captured by Hamas as hostages in the Gaza Strip. Hamas had delayed the toddlers and their parents Shiri and Jarten from the Kibbutz Nir OZ more than 16 months ago. Kfir was nine months old at the time, his brother Ariel for four years.
The pictures of the two red-haired boys in the arm of her desperate mother in the kidnapping became a symbol of the brutal Hamas attack on the south of Israel on October 7, 2023.
