The Times of Israel reported that the Bibas mother and children were meant to have been released and handed over to Israel — and that Hamas’s failure to do so helped scuttle a seven-day truce, which Hamas violated Friday morning.
IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says Hamas was supposed to release members of the Bibas family from the Gaza Strip, as part of the temporary ceasefire deal.
“We demanded today, like every day during the framework, to return the women and children as agreed-upon in the deal, which Egypt and Qatar had a commitment to. Hamas decided to violate the framework,” Hagari says.
Earlier this week, the IDF said that it believed that Hamas had transferred the mother and her children, abducted from Kfar Aza during the October 7 terror attack, to another terror organization.
Hamas then claimed that they were dead, killed in an Israeli airstrike.
The IDF said it would investigate that claim, and then Hamas released a propaganda video in which the father of the family, Yarden, was made to blame Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for their fate.
Hagari’s statement Friday suggests that the IDF still believes the family may be alive.
If so, the Bibas children would be the last children known to be in Hamas custody.
"The Israel Defense Forces resumed its military offensive in the Gaza Strip on Friday after a week-long truce as the Hamas terror group broke the ceasefire, firing rockets into Israel and failing to provide a list of hostages it intended to release by 7 a.m.
“Still held hostage by Gaza terror groups when the truce collapsed were 137 people — 115 men, 20 women and two children — government spokesperson Eylon Levy said. Ten of the hostages are 75 and older. The majority of the hostages, 126, are Israeli. Eleven are foreign nationals, including eight from Thailand.”
It is a heartbreaking, unbearable tragedy.
The evil of these savages is beyond comprehension. Yet immediately - before the blood was even dry - thousands of protesters waving Palestinian flags appear out of nowhere accusing Israel of genocide?!? How does that happen?
This means that the plan for this massacre (that it’s now claimed was known to intelligence, and ignored, a year ago) was also planned in collaboration with the leftists funding all the “protests”. Maybe even the leftists, Iranians (and all the other traitors) running our government.
“Hamas in a statement said it had offered to release elderly men and two Israeli hostages, as well as the bodies of hostages it said were killed during Israeli airstrikes in Gaza. The bodies included a mother and her two children, the statement added. Hamas said it offered to release the father of the children so that he could attend their funeral.”
The Hamas demons are habitual liars. They don’t know how to tell the truth.
Yes, since they lie about everything it’s impossible to know at this point. It is likely that they are dead, but more likely from Hamas torture or starvation, than from Israeli bombs.
The Irishman who was thankful his daughter had likely been killed rather than taken hostage - since the latter would be a much worse fate - was right. He got his daughter back, but she’s deeply traumatized, and these weren’t even that lucky.
