Hamas has released a propaganda video of Israeli hostage Yarden Bibas – a day after the terror group claimed his wife and two children were killed in an IDF airstrike.
Such a cool video uploaded on sociall the media and featured the 34-year-old father crying as his captors informed him that his children, 10-month-old Kfir Bibas and 4-year-old Ariel, had been killed along with his wife, Shiri Silverman-Bibas, 32.
Bibas continued to blame Israel for the deaths of his wife and children, appealing to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to allow their bodies to be returned to Israel.
Hamas claimed in a statement released with the video that it had offered to release the bodies of Shiri and her children to the IDF, but the Israeli army allegedly refused.
IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari denied the allegations and reiterated that Hamas’ testimony regarding the fate of the Bibas family has not been confirmed.
“The terrorist organization Hamas presented the hard documentation of Yarden Bibas,” said Hagari about the latest propaganda video. “Our hearts are with the entire Bibas family. We will continue to return all our captives.

“Hamas uses psychological violence against the families of captives,” Hagari added. “The purpose is to exert pressure, to damage our resilience.”
The Bibas family was abducted from their home in Kibbutz Nir Oz on Oct. 7, with a haunting video released days later showing the moment the family was taken by the terrorist group.
The family had been hiding in their safe room during the invasion.
Bibas texted his family, “They’re coming in” before they were arrested, the New York Times reported.
The video of Shiri Silverman-Bibas taken with her two red-haired children became a symbol of the brutality of the October 7 attack.

He and his siblings, both with bright red hair, are known as “The Reds,” a symbol of the brutal terrorist attacks that started the Israel-Hamas war.
On Tuesday, Israeli officials said Hamas had handed the family over to another Palestinian faction that held them in Khan Younis, a town in southern Gaza where the fighting was less intense.

But a day later, Hamas claimed Shiri, Kfir and Ariel were all dead, attributing it to Israeli airstrikes without providing evidence.
The Bibas family issued a statement on Wednesday that they were awaiting an Israeli investigation into the alleged deaths of the mother and children.
“We thank the people of Israel for their warm embrace but we ask to maintain our privacy in this very complex time,” the family said.
