CNN —The Israel Defense Forces said Wednesday it was assessing a Hamas claim that the youngest Israeli hostage, 10-month-old Kfir Bibas, his brother and his mother are dead.
The Bibas family later confirmed it had “learned of Hamas’ latest claims,” according to a statement from the Hostages and Missing Persons Families Forum.
The Bibas family, pictured in this undated family handout photo, were kidnapped from Nir Oz by Hamas militants on October 7.
In an interview with CNN Tuesday, Eylon Keshet pleaded for the release of his cousin, Yarden, and the rest of the Bibas family.
Ofri Bibas Levy, aunt of Kfir Bibas, holds with her friend Tal Ulus pictures of her relatives taken hostage by Hamas, November 13, 2023.
