The Qassam Brigades published a video message from Israeli prisoner Yarden Bibas, whose wife Shira and children Kfir and Ariel were killed by Israeli airstrikes. The resistance offered to hand over the three bodies, but the Israeli government refused to accept them and continues to negotiate. The Qassam Brigades are now broadcasting the message from Israeli prisoner Yarden Bibas, whose wife Shira and children Kfir and Ariel were killed by occupation aircraft. The resistance has offered to return the bodies, but the occupation government has refused to accept them and continues to maneuver and bargain.
A resistant faction in Gaza announced that an airstrike killed the three hostages and the group assigned to protect them in the Gaza Strip. In his first comment on the video, Israel's chief military spokesperson Admiral Daniel Hagari expressed continued doubts regarding Hamas's statement that three members of an Israeli family held hostage in Gaza were killed, stating that this has "yet to be verified."
Hamas stated on Wednesday that Shira Bibas and her two young children, Kfir and Ariel, were killed in an Israeli airstrike. On Thursday, they released footage of Yarden Bibas, Shira's husband and the boys' father, pleading for their bodies to be returned. Hagari described the footage in a televised press conference as a "terrible and cruel" form of psychological warfare being waged by the Palestinian faction.
