Hamas transferred a 10-month-old Israeli hostage and his family to another terrorist group in southern Gaza.
The family consists of the infant, Kfir, his 4-year-old brother Ariel, and their parents, Yarden and Shiri.
The Bibas family was kidnapped in Kibbutz Nir Oz during an attack on Israel, and video of the incident showed a terrified Shiri clutching the children in a blanket as they were bundled into captivity. (Trending: Biden Shamefully Removes God From National Address)

Hamas has released 50 Israeli hostages and 19 foreign nationals as part of a cease-fire agreement reached with Israel and mediated by Egypt and Qatar.
IDF’s spokesman Avichay Adraee said, “Children and babies under the age of one who have not seen the light of day for more than fifty days are being held captive by Hamas, [who] treats some of them like loot and in some places has transferred them to other terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip.”
“For example, the Bibas family, the two red-haired children ‘The Reds,’ who were kidnapped from their home in Nir Oz by a member of the Hamas terrorist organization (pictured) and are being held in the Khan Yunis area by one of the Palestinian factions.”
The Bibas family said Hamas’ psychological warfare is “working really well because the last four days [since the start of the truce] have been a big nightmare,” according to the Times of Israel.
“I hope they’re not holding them as a trophy,” the family added.
“The understanding that we will not, for now, get the hug we had so hoped for leaves us speechless,” the Bibas’ extended family said in a statement to the media.
An estimated 170 people remain in Hamas custody in Gaza.
