Wait for verified information over fate of infant hostage and family
As another group of Israeli hostages is released from Gaza, Israel’s sense of relief is tempered by deep apprehension over the fate of Shiri Bibas and her two small, red-headed boys, Ariel and Kfir.
For many Israelis, 10-month-old Kfir is the innocent face at the heart of this whole terrible story.
Today Hamas claimed that all three had been killed in an Israeli airstrike. It didn’t say when or where.
The Israeli army said it was looking into the claim. Hamas, it said, continued to act in a cruel and inhuman way.
On Monday, the army said Shiri and the boys had been transferred by Hamas to another Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip and were being held in the southern city of Khan Younis.
In a statement this evening, members of the Bibas family thanked the people of Israel, said they hoped the information would prove false and asked for privacy.
