Israel has claimed two Israeli brothers were "murdered in cold blood", accusing terrorists of "using their bare hands" to kill the two youngest hostages from October 7, 2023.

"The terrorists did not shoot the two young boys — they killed them with their bare hands. Afterwards, they committed horrific acts to cover up these atrocities."

As the news of the Bibas kids being identified by forensics and Shiri Bibas not having been one of the remains sent back to Israel, many people expressed their condolences and anger online.
