Hamas killed Bibas boys, 2 & 5, with their bare hands, Israel says after boys’ remains are returned…without murdered mum
EVIL Hamas murdered the Bibas brothers with their bare hands, Israel says.
The remains of 9-month-old Kfir and four-year-old Ariel were handed over to Israel in a sickening parade on Thursday.
The siblings were returned alongside well as a casket believed to contain the remains of their mum Shiri but the IDF said they belonged to "an anonymous, unidentified" person instead.
Following forensic analysis of the boys' remains, the Israeli military deemed that the terror group killed the boys "with their bare hands."
IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari said: “Ariel and Kfir Bibas were murdered by terrorists in cold blood.
"The terrorists did not shoot the two young boys—they killed them with their bare hands.

"Afterwards, they committed horrific acts to cover up these atrocities.”
Just hours after the twisted ceremony the IDF announced they couldn't identify the body they had received as Shiri's.
Hamas said it was investigating a possible error in identifying the human remains handed to Israel instead of Shiri.
A Hamas senior official Ismail al-Thawabteh said Shiri's body was “turned into pieces” in an Israeli airstrike - which Israel vehemently denies ever took place - and may have been “mixed with other bodies under the rubble”.
The Israel hostage forum said it's shaken by the "barbaric" killing of Bibas boys.
The Bibas family accused Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu of failing to protect their loved ones during Hamas's 2023 attack and of failing to bring them home.
The boys' aunt Ofri Bibas said: "It was Israel's responsibility and obligation to bring them back alive.
"There is no forgiveness for abandoning them on October 7, and no forgiveness for abandoning them in captivity. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, we did not receive an apology from you in this painful moment."
She added: "My sweet nephews were taken alive from their home and murdered by a cruel terrorist organisation while in captivity.
"They didn't deserve such a fate.
"Our painful journey, which has already lasted 16 months, is not over. October 7 continues. We are still waiting for Shiri and fear for her fate.
"For Ariel and Kfir's sake, and for Yarden's sake, we are not seeking revenge right now. We are asking for Shiri.
"Their cruelty only emphasises the urgent need to bring Shiri back to us, save the lives of the living hostages and return all the fallen for burial."
Israel has demanded Hamas to "return Shiri home along with all our hostages" immediately.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described it as an "unspeakable" act which shows "the cruelty of the Hamas monsters know no bounds".
He added in a video statement: "We will act with determination to bring Shiri home along with all our hostages - both living and dead - and ensure Hamas pays the full price for this cruel and evil violation of the agreement."
