dailyrecord.co.uk:

The two youngest Hamas hostages along with their mother are dead, according to the terror group. Kfir and Ariel Bibas were taken on October 7, 2023 by Hamas, with Kfir only ever celebrating a birthday in captivity after he was taken at just nine-months old, reports the Mirror.Isreal has not confirmed the news, stating only that it has "grave concerns" about the family.

The terror group claims they died in an Israeli airstrike early in the conflict.Tragic father and husband Yarden Bibas was also kidnapped, but was recently released.

The Bibas families story has deeply affected Israel, with hundreds of people gathering last year in Tel Aviv to mark Kfir's first birthday, dubbed "the saddest birthday in the world".The youngster with bright red hair has become a symbol of the hostages still in captivity in Gaza.Since a clip circulated online showing the brothers wrapped in a blanket near their terrified mother while gunment loomed over them, the colour orange has become synonymous with the family's trouble in Israel.Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.All you have to do is click here if you're on mobile, select 'Join Community' and you're in!If you're on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click 'Join Community'.We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
