Despite swap deal, baby remains hostage; kin plead for his return

Ten-month-old Kfir Bibas has spent over 50 days of his young life in captivity in Gaza and, according to Israel, has been handed over by Hamas to another Palestinian militant group in a possible complication of efforts to free him. On Tuesday, his extended family pleaded for him, his parents and brother to be released. Hamas infiltrators seized baby Kfir, four-year-old Ariel and their parents Yarden and Shiri after bursting into southern Israeli towns on October 7. Kfir is the youngest of the 240 hostages Israel says were captured.
