ISRAEL claims that Hamas is blocking the release of its youngest hostage, 10-month-old Kfir Bibas.
Hamas “no longer has control” of Baby Kfir after he was allegedly handed over to another Palestinian terror group inside Gaza in a sick trade.

The IDF stated that Kfir and his family are now being held by another “faction” in the southern city of Khan Younis, which is expected to be a major target in Israel’s next offensive.
The move has raised fears that the baby is being used to further leverage talks to extend the truce, which is currently set to hold until Wednesday.
The infant was snatched by Hamas monsters from Kibbutz Nir Oz during their October 7 killing spree along with his brother Ariel, 4, mother Shiri, 32 and father, Yarden, 34.
Relatives of the family say they feel “great uncertainty” over their fates after none were released under the current ceasefire.
IDF spokesman Avichai Adraee claimed the “babies with red hair” had been transferred to another Palestinian terror faction near Khan Younis, Gaza’s second largest city.
“Children and babies under the age of one who have not seen the light of day for more than fifty days are being held captive by Hamas, [who] treats some of them like loot and in some places has transferred them to other terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip,” Adraee added.
It is not currently known which Islamic terrorist group currently holds the family, but military analyst Michael Horowitz claimed: “It appears they may be in the hands of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).”
The PFLP are on the largest Palestinian terror groups that claim to represent Gaza and the West Bank.
After the hostage deal expires, Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant vowed to use “the same amount of power and effort” on a renewed military assault in Gaza.
He claimed that Hamas is using the temporary ceasefire to prepare for the IDF’s coming offensive.
“We will fight in the entire strip,” he said.
On Monday, Israel and Hamas agreed an 48-hour extension to the initial four-day ceasefire as 20 further hostages are hoped to be released in exchange for 60 Palestinian prisoners.
Three Palestinians will be released for each Israeli hostage released from Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Isaac Herzog said that he had received a list of captives to be freed later today.
Last night, 11 more hostages were freed by Hamas after spending 51 days in captivity.
Nine children, including three-year-old twins, and two mothers were released.
But the children freed last night have all left behind their fathers in the hellish tunnels of Gaza.
Hamas still has 170 Israelis hostage, but the terror group said they were no longer holding all of them, which will complicate rescue efforts.
