India, Feb. 22 -- Israel claimed on Friday, February 21, that Hamas terrorists brutally murdered little hostages Ariel and Kfir Bibas with their bare hands. The terror group, however, has claimed the brothers were killed in a targeted airstrike carried out by Israel. Ariel was four years old when he was abducted, and Kfir was the youngest Israeli hostage, having been kidnapped when he was nine months old.

According to a post on X by the Israel Defense Forces, IDF Spokesperson RAdm. 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."
