Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu criticized Hamas’ “unspeakable cynicism”
Tel Aviv: According to the Times of Israel, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized Hamas for its “unspeakable cynicism” after forensic experts in Israel found that the body that was turned over was not hers, despite what Hamas claimed was that of Shiri Bibas, the mother of the two young children who were kidnapped.
According to a video message released by Netanyahu, “The cruelty of the Hamas monsters knows no bounds.”
In addition to the father, Yarden Bibas, they also abducted Shiri, a young mother, and their two young children. In an unimaginably callous move, however, they placed a Gazan woman’s corpse in the casket and failed to return Shiri with her little children, the tiny angels,” he said.
Earlier this month, the dead woman’s husband, Yarden Bibas, was released.
“Israel will take decisive action to bring Shiri and all of our hostages—dead and alive—home and make sure that Hamas bears the full cost of this heinous and wicked breach of the agreement.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged that “the three of them were brutally murdered in Hamas captivity in the first weeks of the war.” He also expressed sadness at the confirmation that the other three bodies returned were those of Oded Lifshitz, 83; Ariel Bibas, 4; and Kfir, about 10 months.
“May God avenge their blood, and we too will avenge,” Netanyahu said.
Following last night’s alleged terror assault in which three empty buses detonated close to Tel Aviv, the Israeli prime minister also ordered Israel’s military to launch operations in the occupied West Bank. When explosive devices placed on the empty trucks exploded in rapid succession in the towns of Bat Yam and Holon, south of Israel’s financial center, there were no reported deaths and no immediate claims of responsibility for the explosions.
Hours after the bus explosions, the Palestinian terrorist organization Hamas returned four corpses that were allegedly kept as captives in Gaza since their October 7, 2023 assault.
