As the Israel-Hamas war rages on more than 100 days since its beginning, communities around the world are holding events to bring attention to the fact that Kfir Bibas, an Argentine-Israeli baby kidnapped during the October 7 attacks perpetrated by the militant group, is turning one year old on Thursday.
Kfir is the youngest of the some 130 hostages believed to be still held captive in Gaza. Hamas spokespeople have said that he and his five-year-old brother and mother, Ariel and Shiri, were killed weeks ago by an airstrike, even publishing a video of their father, Yarden, pleading the Israeli government reaches a deal to allow their bodies to return to Israel.
