"Children and babies under the age of one who have not seen the light of day for more than fifty days are
being held captive by Hamas, [who] treats some of them like loot and in some places has transferred them
to other terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip," Adraee wrote on X, the platform formerly known as
Twitter.
"For example, the Bibas family, the two red-haired children ‘The Reds,’ who were kidnapped from their home
in Nir Oz by a member of the Hamas terrorist organization (pictured) and are being held in the Khan Yunis
area by one of the Palestinian factions."
The Bibas family was kidnapped in Kibbutz Nir Oz during the Oct. 7 attack on Israel, when murderous
Hamas terrorists rampaged through the southern part of the country and killed at least 1,200 people, mostly
civilians, in their homes and at a music festival. Some 240 Israelis and foreign nationals were captured by
the terrorists and taken back to Gaza as hostages.
Video of the incident showed a terrified Shiri clutching the children in a blanket as they were bundled into
captivity. Another clip showed Yarden with a head injury from hammer blows, Ofri Bibas, Yarden's sister,
said.
She told reporters the family was not to be included in the expected release of 10 hostages on Tuesday.
Relatives of repatriated hostages have been informed in advance by authorities.
Bibas said Hamas' psychological warfare is "working really well because the last four days [since the start
of the truce] have been a big nightmare," according to the Times of Israel.
"The understanding that we will not, for now, get the hug we had so hoped for leaves us speechless," the
Bibas' extended family said in a statement to the media.
