Hamas terrorists murdered Ariel and Kfir Bibas, aged four and ten months, “with their bare hands,” the forensic examination carried out by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) showed. Terrorists then mutilated their bodies to cover up their heinous crime, the autopsy found.
The Gaza-based terrorist group has been claiming that the Bibas boys and their mother Shiri were killed in an Israeli airstrike weeks after their abduction, but the investigation of the recovered bodies reveals that they were “murdered in cold blood,” IDF Spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in a televised statement Friday.
“Contrary to Hamas’s lies, Ariel and Kfir were not killed in an airstrike. Ariel and Kfir Bibas were murdered by terrorists in cold blood,” IDF Spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari disclosed Friday.
“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,” he added.
The Jerusalem Post reported the details:
Hamas murdered Ariel and Kfir Bibas within the first few weeks of the war, IDF Spokesman Daniel Hagari announced in a statement on Friday.The IDF was able to verify that Hamas murdered the Bibas kids and attempted to conceal the evidence of the murders by making the bodies look as if they had been bombed by the IDF. (…)Available intelligence and forensic evidence from the identification process have led officials to determine that the two children were brutally murdered in captivity by Gaza terrorists in November 2023, just a month after their abduction, and were not killed by an IAF strike, as Hamas originally claimed.The two boys were aged nine months and four years old, respectively, at the time of their abduction on October 7, 2023. The bodies were identified using forensic analysis in an interdepartmental collaboration between the National Institute of Forensic Medicine and the Israel Police.
The revelation raises fear over the fate of Shiri Bibas, who was kidnapped by terrorists on October 7, 2023, from her home in Kibbutz Nir Oz along with her husband and boys.
Hamas on Thursday handed over the body of a random Gaza woman, calming it belonged to Shiri. Israel exposed the Hamas’ deception following a forensic examination later in the day. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday vowed to exact ‘revenge’ if Hamas fails to return her to Israel.
