Yarden Bibas, 34, his wife, Shiri, 32, and their two sons, Ariel, 4, and Kfir, who was 9 months old at the time of abduction, were kidnapped by Palestinian terrorists on October 7 and have spent 146 days in captivity. Baby Kfir has now spent over a third of his life in captivity, with every second of those 145 days being described as a war crime and a crime against humanity. The family was taken from Kibbutz Nir Or, with their ordeal drawing international attention through a 'gut-wrenching' article in CNN. Ofri Bibas Levy, the aunt of the children, has been vocal in the media, including an Op-Ed for CNN, questioning the global silence on the issue and criticizing world leaders for not taking stronger action against the kidnapping of children by terrorists. Her poignant question, 'Why have the mothers and fathers of the world forgotten about the child hostages?' highlights the emotional and political gravity of the situation.
