From what I’ve read about the Bibas family being returned, Israel rejected this and said they wanted 3 live hostages instead which is what happened.

I can’t watch the video of the father but apparently it’s him begging Netanyahu to accept the bodies so they can be buried.

Ceasefire has ended.

Hope that @EllaDisenchanted is okay and safe far away from danger

I've read the sad news that the bodies of the Bibas family will be returned this evening.
Glad to hear that two young women have been released though.

Did this happen do you know? - nothing being reported about it but maybe done discreetly and respectfully away from the press?

besides Bibas family all (under 18) children are out

other horrifying new tonight . Yagil and Or yaakov (12 and 16) were repeatedly drugged, and were burned with exhaust pipes to mark them in case they tried to escape.

2 female hostages retained.

I won’t watch the video of the father of the Bibas family.

That is horrifying about them burning marks on the children Yagil and Or Yaakov and drugging them. Let us pray that one day they may feel safe again with loved ones.

BBC news tonight was still saying nothing is confirmed about the Bibas children, though they did mention ( but not show) the video of their poor father.

Hamas has published a video of Yarden Bibas.

Bloody bastards. Why don't they just let him go now?

That’s horrific, poor man! I was still holding out a nugget of hope that they’d still be alive but seems no chance of that now.

EllaDisenchanted · 30/11/2023 21:51

Aviv atzili 49, confirmed as dead (was on hostage list) his wife liat was released yesterday.

Hamas drugged children; burned legs with exhaust for identification

Each child seized by Hamas was placed on a motorcycle. They positioned the child's leg against the bike's exhaust pipe, causing burns.

It is terrible. I think Israel would rather have live hostages back, not bodies if it is a choice between categories although real proof of death/bodies is probably important for families so they are sure.

Embelline · 30/11/2023 20:37

Has it been officially verified that the Bibas family are dead? The last I read, Israel were trying to confirm and now I keep seeing reports of three bodies being returned. I was so hoping that all the remaining women and children were going to be released safely - I'm afraid I've never held out much hope that they would release the men and any they deemed 'soldiers' no matter how young. I feel that their demands would be too steep for Israel to bend to.

When the news broke that the babies and their mother had passed I was really hoping it was like the elderly lady reported dead who was later released but it's looking less and less likely.

Kaffeebitte · 30/11/2023 20:01

The crowds really worry me in terms of the men being released. Although Hamas could control them if they wanted to of course.

EsmaCannonball · 30/11/2023 19:57

I'm not surprised that Hamas filmed the Bibas father. I remember them filming the family on October 7th in the aftermath of murdering the 18 year old daughter.

SomeCatFromJapan · 30/11/2023 19:53

Not yet.
I have unfortunately just seen the video of Mia and the other women being released, the crowd was the worst yet. The crowd certainly weren't celebrating, they were shouting things like “You dirty” “you are a dog” “you are a loser” “I want to spit on you”.

The terrifying part was that at that moment, their only protection from the mob, was Hamas. The Red Cross would have been helpless if the mob had surged.

Kaffeebitte · 30/11/2023 19:50

Has anyone seen anything about the other 8 hostages who are supposed to be released tonight ?

SomeCatFromJapan · 30/11/2023 19:40

I really hope that is now it is done. The thought of them being paraded in front of a baying mob with camera phones is nauseating.

Zoflorabore · 30/11/2023 19:30

Mia is the young lady I was so hoping would be released. I’m really pleased for her and her family, the video of her was chilling, she had been shot and operated on and was staring into the camera while someone off camera was dressing her injuries. Some people stick in your mind and she was the one I thought about a lot.

Im disgusted that Hamas won’t release the father/husband in the Bibas family. The man has lost his entire world. The depths of their depravity keep sinking lower.

sensitive subject

Hamas are supposed to be handing over the bodies of the Bibas family tonight. I hope to god it is done off camera or as discreetly as possible to afford them some final dignity. I’ve probably worded that really clumsily but it’s not something that needs to be paraded like the hostage releases.

SomeCatFromJapan · 30/11/2023 19:21

Is the ceasefire still holding after the terrorist attack, seeing as Hamas are allegedly responsible?

StarbucksSmarterSister · 30/11/2023 19:18

EsmaCannonball · 30/11/2023 19:10

Yes, I've seen the footage of the Hamas terrorists telling the hostages, including children, to smile and wave.

I can't imagine how stupid people have to be to think that the smiling waving is genuine when those people have been held hostage for nearly 8 weeks after having seen their family and friends butchered. It defies comprehension frankly.

I posted too soon. Just read that Israel asked Hamas to return Yarden Bibas to Israel. Request refused.

They told him, filmed his pain and released the video. I'm lost for words.

Absolute fucking bastards

I refuse to watch it. Poor, poor guy. I wonder what he has been told 😔

The video of Mia’s mum greeting her is utterly soul wrenching .
