We've seen a lot of evil as an outgrowth of the attack by Hamas on Israel on Oct. 7, including the kidnapping of hostages by the terrorist group. 

There have now been four hostage releases, with 11 more people released on Monday. 

So far, the only American released has been four-year-old Avigail Idan, in the third group on Sunday. It is not clear what the status of the other Americans being held is. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said that "other groups" might be holding them.

One hostage whose fate has concerned many is that of the youngest Israeli, the ten-month-old baby, Kfir Bibas. This picture shows Kfir with his mother and brother as they were being kidnapped on Oct. 7 from their home.

Kfir's dad was injured during the attack, and he is believed to be a hostage as well. 

IDF Arabic spokesperson @AvichayAdraee says Hamas handed the Bibas family over to a different Palestinian terror group, who is holding them hostage in Khan Yunis.

On Monday, there was a troubling update about Kfir and his four-year-old brother, Ariel. 

But Kfir and his older brother are no longer believed to be in Hamas custody after they were among a group that was transferred to "other organizations," an Israeli military official reportedly told Arabic media on Monday.

Israel Defense Forces spokesperson Col. Avihai Adrei said the "babies with the red hair" were "now being held by one of the factions" in the area around Khan Younis, Gaza, according to a message posted on X, formerly Twitter.

Some of the reports suggest the group was the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), another terrorist group. 

The report also says the group holding the boys is refusing to go along with releasing them at the moment. 

This was already vile, but that's just pure evil. 

Why would they do such a thing? 

The city is set to be the next target in Israel's bloody offensive against the Gaza Strip, which has so far killed over 14,000, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. 

Israel urged Palestinians living in the city to leave just over a week ago, suggesting it will soon be the site of renewed fighting once the now-extended ceasefire concludes. 

This is a horrible thing to do. They're playing games and treating the babies like they're bargaining chips to try to save their hides. They're playing games in order to get extensions on the ceasefire. And they're not holding to the agreement for the ceasefire. Hamas has already broken parts of the deal by separating children from their mothers and not returning the mothers.

If there were ever an example of why the Israelis needed to wipe out the terrorists — if they didn't have enough reason already — this would be it. 

How can you deal with people who treat babies this way?
