Israeli captive says regime forces killed his family in Gaza offensive- Video

The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement, has released video footage in which an Israeli captive admits that the regime forces killed members of his family as they indiscriminately targeted neighborhoods in the besieged Gaza Strip.

“Bibi (Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu), you bombed my family. You killed my wife and my children. All what I had in my life,” Yarden Bibas said in the video.

“The least you can do is to bring me and them back home to be buried in Israel. I am begging you: Bring me, my wife and my children back home. Please, I’m begging,” he later pleaded.

“Will I live to attend their funeral? Or will I be buried with them?” the settler asked.

Yarden Bibas, 34, his wife, Shiri, 32 and their two sons, Ariel, 4 and Kfir, then 9 months, were taken captive from Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7. Yarden was taken to Gaza separately from the rest of his family.

Efforts to release Shiri and her children during a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas were unsuccessful. Hamas later announced that they were killed as a result of an Israeli airstrike on Khan Yunis city in the southern Gaza Strip.

Qassam Brigades also released another video titled “Time is Running Out,” in which it showed recorded scenes of four captured Israeli soldiers making appeals to Netanyahu’s administration to stop the Gaza war and bombardment, and instead work on having them released.

The Israeli soldiers featured in the video also spoke about how Israeli military forces flattened houses and residential buildings in Gaza. They also pleaded for the aggression on Gaza to stop.
