A 9-month-old baby, Krip (left), and his 4-year-old older brother, Ariel (right), were kidnapped by the Palestinian armed faction Hamas from Kibbutz Niroz (collective farm) in southern Israel on the 7th. 2023.10.12.

It is reported that the hostages taken by the Palestinian armed faction Hamas include a 9-month-old baby and an elderly man in his 70s. Because they lived in a group in a kibbutz (collective farm) near the Gaza Strip, they became easy targets for Hamas. The bereaved families expressed their anger, saying that the ‘Holocaust’, the Nazi genocide, had been repeated.

According to the Daily Telegraph, families of victims from Kibbutz Niroz in southern Israel who were kidnapped and murdered by Hamas held a press conference in London, England on the 12th (local time) and urged Hamas to release the hostages as soon as possible.

Noam Sagi’s 75-year-old mother was kidnapped. “So far, we have not received any information,” Sagi said. “Please tell me if my mother is alive and why she was taken hostage,” she said. She then asked, “Did you kidnap (her mother) because she was Jewish, because she lived in Israel?” and then responded, “This is a second Holocaust.”

Sharon Lifshitz, whose 85-year-old mother was taken hostage by Hamas from Kibbutz Niroz. Lifshitz said her mother suffers from severe allergies and she left her emergency medication, EpiPen, and a ventilator at home. “We are experiencing something unimaginably horrific,” Lifshitz said.

Sagi and Lifschitz, friends since childhood, were born and raised on Kibbutz Niroz. They were excited to end their lives abroad and return to their hometowns soon, but their lives were completely destroyed after Hamas broke through the barbed wire fence in the Gaza Strip and raided Kibbutz Niroz on the 7th. About 150 kibbutz residents, including family members who remained in their hometowns, were killed or kidnapped by Hamas.

On this day, photos of the missing people were hung on the table at the press conference. The boy in the photo, who is staring straight ahead while holding a rattle with his chubby hand, is a creep who is only 9 months old. Next to it was a photo of his older brother, Ariel, who was four years older.

It is believed that the Silberman-Vivas couple, along with their young children, were kidnapped by Hamas members from their home in Kibbutz Niroz. They left a text message to their acquaintances saying, “Hamas members are coming into the house” and “I love you,” and have been completely cut off from the news.

The bereaved family heaved a sigh of relief, saying they were fortunate to have found the body. Thomas Hand said, “The rescue workers told me that my 8-year-old daughter Emily had been found dead, and I couldn’t help but smile because it was the best news. If I had been in Gaza, I would have had to go through something worse than death.”

At a press conference that day, Sagi called for Hamas to be called a “terrorist.” “Hamas only wanted to do one thing,” he said. “They knew the locations of the kibbutzim and homes. “He had been planning the attack for over a year,” he said.
