Hamas says Kfir and Ariel Bibas, 2 and 5, and their mom are dead, and their bodies will be sent back to Israel this week

Hamas’ youngest hostages, Kfir and Ariel Bibas, 2 and 5, and their mother are dead and their bodies will be returned to Israel this week, the terror group said in a ghoulish announcement Tuesday.

Kfir Bibas never celebrated a birthday in freedom after he and his family were kidnapped on Oct. 7 when he was just 9 months old.

Israel has not confirmed the deaths of the redheaded boys and their mom, Shiri, but said it had “grave concerns” about their wellbeing.

The terror group’s leader in Gaza, Khalil Al Hayya, said four bodies of hostages will be handed over on Thursday, while six living hostages, some held for over a decade, will be returned on Saturday.

This comes after last Saturday’s deadline for Hamas to hand over three living hostages had passed.
