Military spokesperson confirms family were killed by November 2023 as previously stated by Hamas

The Israeli military acknowledged on Friday it knew the Bibas family was dead in captivity in Gaza despite previously insisting they might be alive.

Hamas said in November 2023 that Shiri Bibas, 32, and her two children, Ariel, aged four, and nine-month-old Kfir, were killed in an Israeli air strike. However, the Israeli military continued to demand their release alive.

Military spokesperson Daniel Hagari on Friday confirmed the death of the two babies “no later than November 2023” following the return of their bodies by Hamas as part of the ceasefire agreement.

During a news conference, Hagari said the Israeli military had intelligence that they were already dead but could not announce it to the public.

In cases like these, the friendly fire is basically intentional. "Israel" constantly bombed residential areas and basic service centers like hospitals and schools, places where it's going to be all civilians (they of course lie and say everything they bomb is Hamas). If some "Israeli" prisoners are also hit, they don't really care. They are always ready to deploy the Hannibal Doctrine, so what are a few who are collaterally damaged? Plus the prisoners that were released constantly speak kindly of their jailors, that's just bad for settler propaganda.

They should've left Israel when they had the chance.
