The cover of the British tabloid "The Sun" on November 2 features the photos of the children kidnapped into Gaza
On Saturday, October 7, terrorists broke into their home and filmed all of the family members sitting scared in the corner of the house, with father Noam seen bleeding and the daughters crying. The terrorists posted the family live on Facebook and uploaded videos to social networks. Later, a photo of Noam was posted taken outside the house in the kibbutz; a short time later he was murdered.
" “Who kidnaps children? Where in the world is that the right thing to do? Hamas should have released them all on day one. The kids have not done anything to anyone," Maayan told The Sun.
"They are not soldiers, they are not related to any conflict. You do not abduct babies and children. My two are wonderful, sweet girls who love TikTok and Snapchat and I want them home," she said.
The British newspaper described that on the cover appear, among others, 3-year-old Yuly Konio, who was kidnapped together with her twin sister Emma, and her parents Sharon and David. Her aunt Danielle Aloni, who appeared in the psychological terror video released by Hamas in recent days ,was also kidnapped to Gaza along with her 6-year-old daughter. Also pictured is 8-year-old Nave Shoham, who was kidnapped with his mother Adi, his father Tal and his brother Yahel.
The youngest in the picture, according to the Sun is the 9-month-old baby Kfir Bibas, who had just started crawling. The oldest children are five 17-year-olds. The British newspaper spoke with the sister of Shiri Bibas - who was kidnapped with her baby Kfir and her four-year-old son, Ariel.
“Ariel loves tractors and motorbikes, always running off and wanting to climb," said Ofri Bibabs-Levi.
"Kfir is always smiling and laughing and wants to hug you all the time. He’d just started crawling. It is inconceivable anyone would take a baby as hostage,” she said.
At the same time, leading print media in Germany published articles this week that report on the fear of Jews in the country following acts of antisemitism against the backdrop of Israel's war with Gaza.
