Hamas terrorists have proven again and again that they’re capable of indescribable acts of evil that most people can’t even begin to fathom. On Oct. 7, 2023, they unleashed a savage surprise assault on Israel and killed innocent men, women, and yes, babies, and they took hundreds of hostages back with them to the Gaza Strip.
In the 16 months since that horror, they kept those hostages in dark tunnels and tortured and raped them. They’ve released a few in recent weeks as the result of a ceasefire deal, but they hold yet more.
On Thursday alone, the sadists celebrated like it was Mardi Gras as they handed over the bodies of two children who they apparently killed in captivity. They also returned their mother, as agreed—or did they? Turns out the twisted psychopaths had another cruel trick up their sleeves, and in fact the Israel Defense Forces say they actually turned over the corpse of an unknown person who was not an Israeli hostage at all.
Sometimes, it’s hard to believe that human beings can descend to such depths:
Full statement by the Israel Defense Forces:
After the completion of the identification process by the National Institute of Forensic Medicine in collaboration with the Israel Police, IDF representatives informed the Bibas family that their loved ones, Ariel and Kfir Bibas, of…

The above IDF statement is long, but worth including in full because it is powerful:
According to professional assessments, based on the intelligence available to us and forensic findings from the identification process, Ariel and Kfir Bibas were brutally murdered in captivity by terrorists in November 2023.
During the identification process, it was determined that the additional body received was not that of Shiri Bibas, and no match was found with any other hostage. The body remains unidentified.
This constitutes a severe violation by the Hamas terrorist organization, which, according to the agreement, is obligated to return four murdered hostages.
We demand that Hamas return Shiri along with all our hostages.
Ariel Bibas, of blessed memory, was four years old at the time of his death, and Kfir Bibas, of blessed memory, was ten months old. They were kidnapped along with their mother, Shiri Bibas, from their home in Nir Oz. Yarden Bibas, the father of the family, went out to protect them and was abducted before Shiri and the children. Yarden was returned as part of the hostage return agreement on February 1, 2025.
We share in the deep sorrow of the Bibas family during this difficult time and will continue to make every effort to bring Shiri and all the hostages home as soon as possible.
There really are no words to describe this:

They were just children:
Kfir Bibas was 8 1/2 months old when he was kidnapped by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023 — the youngest of the 251 hostages taken on the day the group carried out its terror attack on Israel — the worst in the country’s history…
Ariel Bibas was 4 at the time of his death, the IDF said. Both children were determined to have been killed in captivity in November 2023, the IDF said Thursday.
Not only has Hamas repeatedly proven to be the personification of evil, but they have proven to be extraordinarily untrustworthy as well, and no deal is worth the paper it’s printed on. It’s far past time that they are removed from the earth.
