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.

This is the same Missing In Action (MIA) lie the US used to justify continued aggression in Asia.
