TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Kfir Bibas has spent nearly a fifth of his life in Hamas captivity. The 10-month-old was abducted from his home in a southern Israeli kibbutz on Oct. 7, when Palestinian militants snatched about 240 people and dragged them to Gaza. Despite being the youngest captive, Bibas hasn’t been included yet in the lists of hostages being freed by Hamas under a temporary cease-fire and won’t be coming out Tuesday, his family said. His ordeal has become a symbol for many of the brutality of Hamas’ attack.
