10-Month-Old Hostage Killed In Israeli Airstrike On Gaza, Claims Hamas

In a statement, the Israeli Defence Forces said they are "assessing the accuracy of the information".

Kfir Bibas was 9-months-old when he was captured by Hamas operatives on October 7 from his home in Israel. His mother and four-year-old brother were also taken hostage during the surprise attack. Yesterday, Hamas said that all three have been killed in Gaza, a claim the Israeli Army said it is investigating.

In a statement, the Israeli Defence Forces said they are "assessing the accuracy of the information".

"Hamas is wholly responsible for the security of all hostages in the Gaza Strip," it added. "Hamas's actions continue to endanger the hostages, which include nine children."
