Siri, her husband Yalden, 35 years old, and two young children Ariel (4 years old) and nine months old, were accused of from her home in southern Israel and entered Gaza during a Hamas-led terrorist attack on October 7, 2023. He was captured. Yaden survived the ordeal and was released earlier this month.
Hamas, a group of extremists governing Gaza, said on Thursday that he was part of the first phase, four dead Israelis hostages and four dead Israelis, 84-year-old hostages of oded lives. He handed over what he said was a hostage of someone. A ceasefire agreement with Israel. After conducting forensic analysis, Israeli officials actively identified the three bodies that were returned as children of Lifshitz and Bibas, but the fourth said they were neither mother nor other hostages. Analysis shows that Ariel and KFIR were “brutally murdered by terrorists while being held hostages in Gaza by November 2023,” according to the Israeli Defence Forces.
“The terrorists didn’t shoot two young boys. They killed them with their bare hands,” the IDF said in a statement Friday. “They later committed horrifying behaviors to hide these atrocities. This assessment is based on both forensic discoveries from the identification process and intelligence that supports the findings.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to take “revenge” over the return of the false body.
Hamas repeatedly denied claims that Israel had killed the Vivas family in a statement Friday calling the allegations “a lie other than pure lies.” The group claims that their mother and her two young children were killed in an Israeli airstrike.
