Israel said to demand Hamas clarify status of hostages Shiri Bibas and her two kids

[IsraelTimes] Despite family being slated for release in first stage of ceasefire, mother and two young boys, Ariel and Kfir, remain in captivity in Gaza, with grave concern for their lives

Israel has demanded that Hamas
Hamas

..a regional Iranian catspaw,...
clarify the condition of hostages Shiri Bibas and her two small boys, Ariel and Kfir, whom the Paleostinian terror group is holding in the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip, Hebrew media reported Wednesday.

The three are set to be returned to Israel in the ongoing first phase of the ceasefire and hostage deal that halted the war started by Hamas in October 2023.

While living women and kiddies were supposed to be freed first under the deal, bodies are to be handed over later in the deal. Fears for the fate of the Bibas trio have grown, as Hamas has not returned them among the first hostages released. Husband and father Yarden Bibas, who was kidnapped separately to Gaza, is slated to be released later in the deal’s first phase.

Hamas has said that 18 of the 26 hostages yet to be returned under the current phase are alive, without offering specifics on the condition of individuals, and that eight are dead.

The Bibas family members are among the highest-profile hostages still held in Gaza. Ariel, 5, and Kfir, who turned 2 earlier this month, are the only children left there, after a November 2023 deal that saw the release of more than 100 of the 251 people seized in the attack by Hamas ~~bandidos~~ turbans the previous month, in which some 1,200 people were killed, mostly civilians, on the deadliest day in Israel’s history.

At the time, Hamas said the children had been killed along with their mother. Israel said it was investigating that "cruel" claim, but did not confirm it, and the IDF has since said that it has no intelligence to confirm their status.

There have been no signs of life from the boys since the day of their abduction, when they and their mother, Shiri, became an early face of the violence. A video that emerged of Shiri carrying her children as she was taken away by the ~~bandidos~~ turbans quickly gained attention due to her visible distress, the children’s bright red hair, and Kfir’s young age — at 10 months old, the youngest Israeli kidnapped by Hamas.

After announcing their death in November 2023, Hamas released a video showing Yarden, their father, who had been told his family was dead. In February 2024, the IDF found more footage from surveillance cameras in Khan Younis of Shiri, Kfir, and Ariel’s abduction.

The government is now said to be demanding a clear answer on the matter, in order to provide it to their family, multiple outlets reported.
