Apparently the body that should have been that of Shiri Bibas is not a match with any other known hostage.

This is absolutely grotesque. There was some slight comfort in the thought of the three of them being together but this is sickening. 💔

This, combined with the attempted terror attack, makes me so aware of how fragile this ceasefire is. What a horrifying day.

O M G the mind game hamas are playing they are the lowest of the low. Where is Shiri!

EsmaCannonball · 20/02/2025 23:39

The IDF is claiming that forensics and intelligence shows that the boys were murdered in November 2023, aged 10 months and aged 4.

I wonder if Shiri is alive and a witness to whatever horror befell those boys or if she is dead and this is yet another cruel trick played by those utter scumbags in Hamas.

Either way it's a cruel trick. Inhumane to the extreme.

It is not the same thing! We could sit here and feel awful for every civilian in every conflict. People died in WW2 in London from bombing- it is not the same as dying in a concentration camp, because someone rounded you up because of your race and tortured you!!!

I do sit here feeling sorry for every civilian, especially children.It's basic humanity

The Times of Israel is reporting that the two boys have been identified but the other body is not that of their mother.

Another update: The adult body returned today has been reported to be not that of Shiri Bibas.
More mind games from Hamas then. More unspeakable suffering for her husband and sister. Her parents are spared, though, seeing as Hamas already murdered them.

Is there a source for this? Thank you.

Yarden Bibas is in my thoughts constantly today. ❤️

Where are you reading that?

I think it's shameful that Gazan children's own parents and government don't care for their safety. They don't care for their own children's safety! Can you image it? Hamas didn't happen by accident. People voted for them knowing their rationale was to provoke a stronger country into attacking them.

That does not mean we should dismiss their suffering.

All children deserve to grow up in safety.

We should feel awful for every civilian caught up in any conflict - particularly the very vulnerable, mothers, children and the elderly. My heart is broken for Shiri, Ariel and Kfir and Oded but it was also broken for Hind.

This is such a dark day, but dismissing the suffering of others - particularly children - is shameful.

That’s a fair comparison.

Today of all days, there was an attempted major terrorist attack in Tel Aviv. Several buses was blown up, and the only reason there were no casualties is that the terrorists accidentally set the time to 9pm not 9am.

ArtTheClown why is it ok for Palestinian babies to die in air strikes and not Israeli babies? Israel had a choice they didn’t have to pound the Gaza Strip with bombs not made for densely populated areas.

How many Israeli babies would die if it wasn’t for the dome

There are useful idiots on the marches who don't take much to brainwash but the true terrorist supporters are already in many countries, and multiplying fast. A few plainly on MN too.

peanutbuttertoasty · 20/02/2025 20:04

HiyaLuv · 20/02/2025 19:29

The behaviour of some on the marches makes me think they will be welcomed with open arms.

No doubt we’ll be rolling out the red carpet for them very soon. No idea what it will take for people to wake up.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 20/02/2025 18:59

Seriously you compare war to the deliberate kidnapping, torture and
killing of babies.
playing right into Hamas hands- bravo!

I agree. It was unforgivable for Hamas to do what they did, and then hide in densely populated civilian areas to launch their rocket attacks, putting the civilian population in the firing line.
But that is for another thread.

Exactly.
