The heartbreaking news came straight from Hamas terrorists today. They claimed that Shiri Bibas and her two little boys, Kfir and Ariel, are dead. These innocent victims were kidnapped during Hamas’ brutal October 7 attack on Israel. Kfir was just a baby when he was taken – only nine months old. His big brother Ariel was four. Their faces became symbols of Hamas’ cruelty.
The Bibas family said they are “in turmoil” but haven’t gotten official word from Israel yet. “Until we receive definitive confirmation, our journey is not over,” they told reporters. This shows the agony families face when dealing with terrorist lies. Hamas has a history of spreading false claims to hurt Israeli families.
Hamas says it will hand over four bodies on Thursday, including the Bibas family. Six living hostages will be freed Saturday. This comes after Israel agreed to let mobile homes and construction gear into Gaza. Critics say this rewards Hamas for violence. Conservatives argue you can’t negotiate with terrorists – it only emboldens them.
The Bibas tragedy exposes Hamas’ evil. A video from October 7 showed Shiri desperately hugging her redheaded boys as gunmen dragged them away. For over a year, Israelis prayed for their safe return. Now Hamas claims they died in an Israeli airstrike – a common terrorist tactic to blame victims for their own murders.
Yarden Bibas, the husband and father freed earlier this month, begged Prime Minister Netanyahu to “bring everyone home.” His tearful words remind us that real people suffer while global leaders debate politics. Every day these hostages rot in tunnels is a failure of international resolve.
President Trump’s plan to rebuild Gaza without Hamas interference was rejected by Arab nations. Meanwhile, Hamas regains control during ceasefires despite Israeli strikes. This proves half-measures don’t work. Strong leadership is needed to crush terror groups completely – not temporary truces that let them regroup.
The ceasefire deal trades Palestinian prisoners – including murderers – for hostages. Over 1,100 criminals have already been released for 19 Israelis. This lopsided “exchange” puts every Israeli at risk. Why release terrorists who will attack again? It’s like paying ransom to pirates – they’ll just take more hostages.
Conservatives say Israel must finish the job Trump started – destroy Hamas completely. No more deals that leave terrorists in power. Every hostage still in Gaza cries out for justice. America must stand firm with our ally Israel, not pressure them into dangerous compromises. The Bibas family deserves truth, closure, and the knowledge that their sacrifice won’t be forgotten.
