EXCLUSIVE Touching moment missing four-year-old Israeli hostage meets his new little brother months before they were kidnapped by Hamas in October 7 attack – as family release video after evil terrorists refused to release the pair during ceasefire

This is the touching moment a missing four-year-old hostage meets his new little brother for the first time, months before they were both tragically kidnapped by Hamas.

In the video Ariel, four, looks on lovingly as his new baby sibling Kfir returns home from the hospital with his mother Shiri, 32, in February this year.

Ariel can be seen running towards his little brother in excitement, before bending down and hugging the baby gently. 

The three were kidnapped along with their father Yarden, 34, on October 7 when gun toting Hamas thugs snatched them from the kibbutz Nir Oz in southern Israel.

Shiri’s cousin, Jimmy Miller, exclusively shared the video with MailOnline, as it emerged that the family should have been released on Friday, but Hamas reneged on the deal.

It comes just days after the twisted organisation announced the children and Shiri had been killed by an Israeli air strike – but offered no proof.

Then in another cruel psychological attack they released a video of devastated Yarden begging for the bodies of his family to be returned home after he had been told they were dead.

Jimmy told MailOnline: ‘We are still waiting for news; we haven’t heard anything and we are waiting to hear but we don’t believe anything from Hamas until we see some proof.

‘We still believe that they are alive, and they are ok. This is a game that Hamas are playing with us.

‘They know that kids are sensitive to people all over the world and I think this is the reason they are trying to play with us.

‘We are being as optimistic as we can and just praying for some good news – in the video you can see Yarden is in a bad, he looks like he has lost 20kg.

‘He looked as if he had been given something psychotic and he didn’t look his usual safe. We just hope it isn’t true and they are just playing with us.’

The family were among 240 hostages initially snatched but during the seven-day ceasefire 105 were released and there were hopes the Bibas family would be among them.

Israeli Defence Forces spokesperson Rear Adm Daniel Hagari said at a briefing the children and their mother should have been freed as part of the ceasefire.

He added the claim from Hamas was still ‘being investigated’ and went on to say:’ In the framework, the Bibas family, the mother and the kids, were supposed to be returned to Israel. Hamas decided not to do this.’

Yarden, 34, (pictured, centre) was seen distraught and weeping as he said: ‘Bibi (Netanyahu) your airstrike took away my beloved family, now do what you can to bring them home so they can be buried at home’

On the final day of the ceasefire, Hamas had said it would also be returning three bodies but none were forthcoming and it wasn’t clear who they were.

Last week the IDF also said that Hamas had handed custody of Kfir and his family to a separate terror group in Gaza’s second city, Khan Younis.

IDF spokesperson Colonel Avihai Adrei said at the time the ‘babies with the red hair’ were ‘now being held by one of the factions’ in the area around Khan Younis, Gaza, according to a message posted on X.

Jimmy said:’ Hamas are just playing with us, and we had no option but to start fighting again, it would have been good for the ceasefire to carry on but Hamas claim they have no more.

‘They are just playing with us, they should have released all the women and children and they say they don’t have any left but we know they are lying.

‘They just don’t have any rules over there, I have Muslim friends and the Koran says they shouldn’t kidnap kids and women, and this is what they have done.’

The world watched in horror on October 7 when footage emerged of Hamas terrorists dragging Shiri and her young family from their home in Nir Oz Kibbutz towards a waiting motorbike.

Video showed the sobbing mother clutching onto Kfir and Ariel as they were kidnapped, as horrified neighbours screamed: ‘She has a baby.’

With his red hair and toothless smile, Kfir’s harrowing ordeal has become for many a symbol of the brutality of Hamas’ attack on October 7, which saw the terrorists massacre 1,200 Israelis inside their homes or as they tried to flee a music festival.
